Research Refresh is a weekly event for all researchers at the University, ran by the Library. It is an opportunity for PGRs to take a break from their work, grab some coffee and cake, and to chat with other researchers from different disciplines.

It runs every Thursday morning from 10.30am in the Wolfson Research Exchange.

Preparing job applications: Writing academic CVs, cover letters, and research proposals. With Giulia Palazzolo. We will also include time for sharing your own job documents and getting peer feedback.

A new reading group will be running this term on Karl Marx. Our plan is to work through some of Marx's early writings in term 2 and, if this goes well, hopefully continue into term 3 reading parts of Capital and some of Marx's other later work. The planned reading for term 2 is below. If you're interested, please get in touch and we'll keep you updated on the specific excerpts of these works we're going to look at.
