Practicalities

Throughout Autumn 2021, seminars will run in a hybrid format:

Up to 32 persons may attend on site, in person. As part of COVID-mitigation measures for this venue, those on site should wear masks, unless speaking or drinking.

We will also be livestreaming seminars. The camera will focus on the person who is speaking—whether that’s the chair, speaker, respondent or those in the audience putting questions. It also displays a 360-degree image of the room. Those uncomfortable with appearing on camera may prefer to join the livestream.

Those wishing to join online should sign up in advance for each seminar you plan to attend. Information for online participants will be sent out by email shortly before each seminar.
