Hilary Term Programme

Hello all,

Thank you to all who came last night – two terrific papers. We realise that we haven’t post the full HT programme yet: so here it is. We look forward to seeing you at as many of the seminars as possible.

As you will see, our speaker for 10^th March is still to be confirmed. We’ll keep you posted. There is no seminar on St Patrick’s Day as college will be closed, although we’re open to suggestions for Irish literary alternatives.
