Presenting a paper at the IHR postgraduate seminar

The postgraduate seminar presents papers by students at various stages in their research. It is an ideal forum in which to present your first seminar paper, or perhaps later on to present the ideas you are formulating as your thesis progresses.

If you would like to present a paper at the IHR postgraduate seminar, please email your proposed title and a brief outline of your paper to history.lab@sas.ac.uk.

The programme runs in term-time. Each term’s programme is confirmed at least 2 to 3 months in advance, so you should get your proposal to us in plenty of time. As a rule of thumb, the autumn term papers are organised in July/August, spring term in September, and summer in January, but proposals are accepted at all times.

Seminar papers normally run for about 45 minutes. Panel sessions should run for 20 to 30 minutes each. Papers are followed by a question session of about 15 to 20 minutes. After the seminar we normally go on to a local pub for drinks.
