Spotlight on… Polish: Putting Postgraduate Research Centre Stage

One of PROLang’s goals is to provide a forum for postgraduates, who are working on research topics involving language, in the broadest sense, to present and receive feedback on their work in progress. We are delighted to announce the launch of our new “Spotlight on…” series, which puts postgraduate research centre stage. The theme of this seminar will be the Polish language and we look forward to you joining us here at SSEES, to participate in what is sure to be a series of fascinating and intellectually stimulating discussions.

The event will be followed by a wine reception. This will be an in-person event also livestreamed online.
