Modern South Asian Studies seminar programme for Trinity term 2021

We are delighted to announce that the Modern South Asian Studies seminar series will continue online via Teams Event Live in weeks 1-4 of Trinity term, running on Tuesdays 2.00-2.45pm (i.e.27 April-18 May inclusive).

In order to attend, please pre-register for a ticket via Eventbrite (https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/modern-south-asian-studies-seminar-series-trinity-term-tickets-150876416423). You will then be sent a link to join the seminar by email ahead of each week's session.

Due to technical and other restrictions, unfortunately it will not be possible to hold a question and answer session with the speakers, and so each seminar is limited to a 45-minute presentation by the speaker(s).
