As the semester gets into full swing I hope you're enjoying the warmer weather and taking advantage of the opportunities on campus. For those of you in the last year of your degree don't forget to fill out the National Student Survey. We really do appreciate the feedback you give us.
Shut up and Write is at the usual time of 12-2pm on Mondays (today). We are back in SLB/002 and will be there for the rest of the term. Come along for a cup of coffee and a chance to get some focussed writing done. (there are biscuits too!)
Finally the Politics Coffee Morning will be running as usual on Wednesday from 09:30 - 11:00 in the Politics Reception. I look forward to seeing you there for a chill start to the day.

With tales ranging from drug smuggling schemes, trafficking, and exploitation to super cartels, ethnic gangs, and money laundering, join us for a fascinating discussion and learn more about the gears driving Britain's underground drug scene.

The Department of History invites you to join us for an interdisciplinary roundtable for LGBTQ+ History Month. Four speakers will introduce their own research in LGBTQ+ histories, followed by discussion and questions chaired by Dr Tess Wingard (she/her). The event will explore how the field of queer history has evolved over the last decade, with the opening up of new archives and museums; the growing importance of trans and intersex histories; and greater attention to intersectionality with histories of race and colonialism.
