Jean Blondel Tuesday Seminars 2009-2010

The Centre for the Study of Political Change organizes a weekly two-hour seminar. The Seminar’s aim is broad: its scope is not limited to a specific field or area. Quite the contrary, it is deliberately open to all social scientists and to those who work on political science related issues from a variety of disciplines.

The Seminar provides an opportunity to both the staff and the graduate students of the CIRCaP to be familiar with the research currently undertaken in Italy and abroad. It specifically aims to enable MA and PhD students to experience at first-hand the work of researchers and the different stages of research crafting.

The seminar, which begins at 2.30 p.m. on Tuesdays, lasts about an hour and a half, with a presentation of about 45 minutes leaving ample time for comments and questions. It is held in room 3B in the Facoltà di Scienze Politiche.
