CSR PGR Work in Progress events
The CSR Work in Progress seminar is a hybrid event where the Centre’s PhD students present their research in an informal setting. Not limited to a specific theme or format, the seminar gives PhD students an opportunity to deliver a 15-30 minute paper and receive feedback from their peers, as well as an optional response from a member of the academic staff. PhDs from other faculties whose work touches on the Renaissance are also invited to submit proposals. If you would like to present your research at the CSR WiP, please fill in the form at https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/arts/ren/research/pgr-wip/form/
The CSR WiP is primarily intended for PhD students at Warwick. Where possible, applications from interested students at other universities are taken into consideration. Academic respondents are only available to Warwick students.
