This event is the fourth annual Polish studies workshop hosted by UCL SSEES, and the second annual workshop of the British Association for Slavonic and East European Studies (BASEES) Polish Studies Group. The workshop will consist of two parts. Conference-style panels on 19 September and the morning of 20 September will provide a forum for researchers, at all stages in their academic careers, to exchange ideas about work in progress. The rest of the workshop, on 20 September, will consist of discussions about doing Polish studies research in Poland and abroad. It is aimed particularly at PhD students in Polish studies. The event is subsidised by BASEES and the Grabowski Fund.
Please contact anne.white@ucl.ac.uk by Friday 13 September if you would like to attend. Attendance is free, but places are limited.
