The Institute of Humanities and Social Science Research is hosting a Faculty-wide Research Programme that is envisaged to run every year under a different theme. The Programme will stretch over a whole academic year and is intended to comprise international conferences, a lecture series, workshops, one-day symposia, enterprise and public-engagement projects and staff-student reading groups. The chosen theme will be broad and open enough to accommodate a diverse portfolio of events and activities, involving the greatest possible number of staff and research students in IHSSR. The Programme will bring together the local IHSSR research community, helping to define and develop an ‘identity’ for the Institute, as well as involving visiting inter/national scholars and the local community.
For its inaugural run in 2010-11 the chosen topic was Globalisation.
The programme in 2010-11 was coordinated by Professor Berthold Schoene b.schoene@mmu.ac.uk in English.
For 2011-12 the topic is Community.
The 2011-12 programme is being coordinated by:
Dr Annabel Kiernan
Senior Lecturer, Public Services
Dept. History, Politics & Philosophy
