Dr Jan Hoffman French, of the University of Richmond in the US, has been added to our list of speakers for the forthcoming seminar series, and consequently Dr Daniel Stone’s seminar has moved to the new date of Tuesday 13 December. Please note that Olivia Sheringham’s seminar is on Tuesday 25 October, not Monday 24.
