- Important seminar information
- The seminars will be held as a mixture of in-person and Zoom talks. In-person talks will be made available for a virtual audience through live streaming via Zoom. You can download Zoom for free on the UCL Software database.
- The talks will last 30-40min and will be followed by 15 minutes of questions.
- If you are attending the seminar via Zoom, you will be asked to turn your camera and microphone off throughout the seminar, except when asking a question at the end of the talk.
- It is recommended that you ask your question in the chat section of Zoom. At the end of the talk, the seminar’s host will then ask you to present yourself and ask your question to the speaker. This will be done in chronological order. If all the questions in the chat box have been answered before the end of the seminar, the attendees will be able to “raise a hand” and ask questions as well.
- The seminars will also be recorded with the speaker’s agreement. You will be able to ask the seminar series convenor (Feng Yin, feng.yin.15@ucl.ac.uk) for the video if you have been unable to attend the live seminar. It is, however, strongly encouraged to join the live seminars. If you are provided with the video, please do not share it to a wider audience except if it has been accepted previously by the seminar series convenor and the speaker.
- Every attendee is also expected to conduct themselves appropriately throughout the seminar. UCL Geography is dedicated to providing a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, or religion (or lack thereof). Any type of harassment will not be tolerated during the virtual seminars. If you notice anything during one of the seminars, please feel free to contact the seminar series convenor (email address above).
