Learning Community Newsletter Week 9

Posted on 23 November 2021

All the latest from the Department

Although Week 9 means that we are almost at the end of term - there are still some great things in our Community Calendar in the coming week!

Some of you may remember from the last two years, the Department has been active in promoting the Political Studies Association’s Undergraduate Conference. As the 2022 Conference will actually be hosted by the University of York, we are more enthused than ever! On Wednesday, we will be hosting our first promotion event - see details below.

The other big thing to mention is the Department of Politics Holiday Party! It’s next Tuesday (30th) - again, details are below.

Hope you all have a fantastic week,

Jeremy Moulton (Learning Community Officer)

Events

PSA Undergraduate Conference Information Event

Wednesday 24th November 1pm, D/N/056

Join us this Wednesday to hear more about the Political Studies Association’s annual Undergraduate Conference - due to take place in the first Week of April 2022 - and the opportunity for you to participate. The conference is a great way to deepen your understanding of political science and to develop your own work in front of a new audience. It’s also (though this isn’t nearly as fun) a great thing to add to your CV!
