Seminar Programme 2009/2010

Seminars in the School of Geography

Welcome to the School of Geography seminar page. Here you can find information on seminars in the School over the forthcoming academic year. Each year, our School Seminar Series brings guest speakers to deliver cutting-edge research seminars on a broad range of geographical topics. Additional seminars are also organised across the year, often given by geographers visiting us from overseas. Our Staff Seminar Series provides a forum for geographers here at Southampton to present their latest research.

An abstract and further details are available for each seminar by clicking on the speaker's name in the seminar list. A list of seminars from previous years can be found under the Archive link on the right of the page.
