Alumni Lecture Series

Geography Alumni Grand Challenges Lecture 2017 at the RGS

The Department of Geography often arranges lectures from current members of staff, showcasing some of the exciting research that is happening within the department. The talks will last approximately 1 hour, with time for questions and discussion. They will also be recorded, so if you can’t make the live event, you can catch up at your leisure. We will share details here of forthcoming lectures and you can find links below to presentations given in the past. 

We look forward to seeing you!
