Events and seminars

The Department hosts a number of events and seminars. Each research group runs a series of seminars that provide a regular focus for staff and students to come together with others from the wider research community for lively discussion and debate.
 
See below for all forthcoming events in the Department of Geography.

The 2010 EPD Group Annual Lecture will be on Wednesday 9th June at 1730- 1830. The lecture will be delivered by Professor Michael Watts on the topic of 'Permanent Frontier: A Political Ecology of Insurgency'.
 
Over the last decade Professor Watts’ research activities have focused on the political ecology of oil in West Africa and on the relations between oil – understood materially, biophysically, socially and symbolically – and the field of conflict in Nigeria in particular. One aspect of this research program is to understand the relations between oil and the rise of an insurgency across the Niger delta oilfields.
