‘Understandings of risk and resilience in PhD research’

Wednesday 13 November 2019
14:30 – 17:00
Ustinov Room in Van Mildert College
Part of the “rethinking development’ event with Department of Geography
Every academic year, the IHRR organises a series of postgraduate seminars with the goal of fostering links between PhD researchers from different disciplines. This Post Graduate Forum is one of the mechanisms we utilise to achieve this goal. PhD scholars from a range of departments will discuss how they utilise the concepts of risk and or resilience in their research. The presentations will be 10 – 15 minutes with time for questions. After the presentations, there will be drinks available where presenters and participants can continue discussions informally.
