Language, Linguistics and Literature Forum

Programme for January - May 2003

Advance notice of the programme for the new Departmental Seminar Series for the semester!   A few slots are still vacant so please let me know if you have a seminar paper, or report on some aspect of your research you want to share with colleagues and postgraduates.  We hope to keep this series flexible, so that academic presentations alternate with more informal reports or even audio/visual presentation.  Seminars are every second Friday in the Bruce St. John Seminar Room at 4:30 p.m.  Please make every effort to come and support colleagues and postgraduates!
