Seminar programme
Each year, our staff and students are invited to a range of seminars that touch on the most relevant topics and emerging research in the study of journalism, media and communication.
If you'd like to suggest a speaker for a future research seminar, please email the seminar series coordinator Maria Tomlinson (maria.tomlinson@sheffield.ac.uk).
Our research seminars are being presented in a mix of hybrid, online and in-person formats. Where these sessions are hybrid or in person, they will be held in Lecture Theatre 5 of The Wave, Whitham Road. Please ensure you check the below programme before attending.
