The School provides a range of seminar series, workshops and national and international conferences to reinforce the research culture and postgraduate training provision. The School PhD community publishes an annual yearbook, entitled ‘Crossing Conceptual Boundaries’ (formerly PhD yearbook); this is an annual peer-reviewed volume presenting PhD students’ articles and book reviews since 2007. It is run by an editorial board comprised of UEL academics an PhD students and it is available in paper format and on-line.

Some students have provided additional information about themselves and their research projects. That information can be accessed on the list below.
