Late Antique and Medieval Postgraduate Society seminars
Late Antique and Medieval Postgraduate Society seminars take place throughout the year and are open to all.
Seminar description
The LAMPS seminars showcase the work-in-progress of postgraduate students (both PhD and MSc-level) of all disciplines working within the Late Antique and Medieval periods. Papers are twenty minutes long, followed by ten to fifteen minutes of questions. We then head to a nearby hostelry to continue the discussion!
