The POLECONUK Webinar provides a platform for scholars to share research in political economy with a broad academic audience. We are part of the POLECONUK network. To attend, please join our mailing list; registered participants receive an email with joining details a few days before each event.
The seminar consists of a 50-minute presentation followed by a 10-minute Q&A, with questions taken either in the chat or live. Afterwards, participants are invited to stay for an informal, unrecorded discussion with the speaker. Recordings are posted only with the speaker’s consent and can be found under Past Seminars when available.
The webinar meets biweekly, on Mondays, 3 pm, UK time.
