The series comprises monthly lectures that are free and open to the public. Researchers from RGU and other institutions will present their work on timely issues.
The events will provide an opportunity not only to hear about fascinating ongoing research but to ask questions and to join discussions.
Our 2019-2020 Community Seminar Series events include talks on stereotypes of veterans, the role of referendums, Middle Eastern politics and religion, Aberdeenshire history, and the psychology of dating.
