The University’s Institute for Research in Citizenship and Applied Human Sciences (IRCAHS) has announced plans to hold a third Public Lecture Series, which will cover a broad range of subjects over six separate lectures.
The Institute undertakes research in a broad range of areas related to contemporary citizenship, health, welfare and crime reduction, social and political identities and applied social sciences. All research undertaken within it's five Centre's aims to have direct relevance to policy and practice, address real-world issues and seeks to improve the understanding of challenges faces by individuals, families, groups and society.
IRCAHS strongly believes in circulating its research as much as possible and following on from the success of the past two series, the 2014-15 lectures will ensure continuity of dissemination to a much wider network.
Professor John Playle, Dean of the School of Human and Health Sciences commented, “We are looking forward to holding another series of engaging and interesting lectures as it provides an opportunity to learn about some of the exciting research being undertaken within the Institute”.
All of the lectures will be held on the University campus. They are free, open to all and will commence in November 2014.
Further information regarding the full Public Lecture Series including specific lecture topics, dates and locations will be displayed on the IRCAHS events webpage over the coming weeks.
