Housman Talks 2023-2024

This is the second year of the "Housman Talks" series. The events aim to promote collegiality, encourage interdisciplinary relations and introduce new ASCR members to other users of the Housman Room.

Unless otherwise notified, the events will begin with drinks at 5.30pm, followed by the 15-20 minute talk at 6pm. We encourage new ASCR members who have booked to come to an event to arrive at 5.30pm. You will then have time to have some food and drink, and meet other members, as well as chat to staff on the ASCR Committee.
