The first Blue Sock Salon took place in October 2009. Blue Sock is best described as an away-day for early-career researchers (except it's in the evening, in the atmospheric environs of the Horse Hospital, and with the possibility of buying beer). Blue Sock features a baker's dozen of pecha-kucha presentations by your colleagues, some music, and space to mingle and swap ideas and experiences with A+H, SHS, SSEES, and Laws people you know (and probably some you don't know, and some you don't know you want to know...yet). The last Blue Sock spawned teaching and research collaborations, speaking invitations, and new friendships. Come and join in!
Thursday 20 January, 7pm (sharp)- 9.30pm (approx)
at The Horse Hospital, Colonnade, WC1N 1HX
(behind Russell Square tube station -- click here for a venue map)
