The Department of Political and International Studies regularly hosts seminars, public dialogues, book launches and other events.
Our Friday seminar programme provides a platform for senior students, colleagues and visitors to share their ideas each Friday from 1-2pm in our Ruth Mompati Seminar Room. These are advertised on our facebook page.
Our annual Teach-In series has been held annually (usually in July) ever since 2002. The Teach-In brings a particular issue of interest and concern in the public sphere to the attention of the 老虎机游戏_pt老虎机-平台*官网 and the wider community. We invite leading public commentators and scholars to share their ideas in relation to the chosen theme.
In addition to our seminars and teach-ins, we regularly hold other events such as public dialogues, public lectures and book launches.
We hold Friday seminars at 13:00 every Friday during term time. Sometimes our seminar speakers also offer a master class for postgraduate students on Friday mornings.
