Week 10: Learning Community Newsletter

Posted on 29 April 2024

All the latest from the department

We've made it folks, the last full week of teaching! There's still plenty going on and do keep an eye out for an email later this week advertising the assessment and writing workshops and events we'll be running over the next few weeks. In the meantime I hope you are keeping well and can enjoy the following in between essays.

The Politics Coffee Morning this week is going to be Thursday morning from 09:30-11:00 in the Politics reception. Do come join us for a break from the work and a chance to catch-up over a cup of tea/coffee and some pastries.

Finally the London School of Economics Undergraduate Political Review is holding its annual conference on the 6th June. The deadline for abstracts is the 30th May and can be submitted via this google form. If you have an essay or would like to present your finished dissertation to peers at other universities this is a great opportunity. Registration and attendance is free.
