CES will be running a series of Graduate Research Seminars over the next few months, all staff and students welcome.

This week saw the 50th anniversary of Theatre in Education (TiE) at the Belgrade Theatre, Coventry. Academics and students from the Centre for Education Studies were all involved in the conference, Professor Joe Winston, Dr Rachel King, Jo Trwosdale and Jen Kitchen, a PhD student all ran sessions which CES MA Drama students all took part in.
