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.

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.
