Overview
The Bangor School of Social Sciences seminar series runs annually, with lunchtime seminars held fortnightly. WISERD Bangor are organising the series on behalf of the school during 09/10 and this may become a regular fixture in coming years. Presentations cover a wide range of topics and research areas in Sociology, Social Policy and Criminology, with some seminars reflecting WISERD key themes of identity, ethnicity, place, space and public engagement, particularly but not exclusively in a Welsh context. Recent highlights have included Professor Charlotte Williams OBE, Keele University, talking about her recent research on ethnic minorities and civic participation in Wales. Two seminars have been joint events, one held in collaboration with the Religious Studies department in Bangor, and one joint event with The British Society of Criminology – Wales branch. Guest speakers ranging from recent postdocs to Emeritus Professors have come from across the UK as well as Germany, and several WISERD staff members including WISERD director Huw Beynon are also participating in this years seminar series.
