Week 10, 16/3 – No Seminar

We were due to have Wyn Grant – on ‘Forty Years of Political Analysis’ – in week 10. However, too many PAIS members are away at conferences that week. We are instead planning to hold the seminar on Wednesday 11 May. There will be a dinner in Wyn’s honour following the seminar. Although we expect that some people might still be unable to make the new time, we hope to choose a date that prevents as few of us as possible from attending the seminar. Please let us know ASAP if that time would not suit you.
