Research Conversations
A programme of free online talks with people engaged in Shakespeare-related research
About our Research Conversations:
Every month we host a live online talk, via Zoom, which provides you with the opportunity to listen to and ask questions of people who are engaged in Shakespeare-related research.
The talks begin with a thirty-minute presentation, followed by an open discussion. They are completely free to attend, and open to all.
