Lines sessions
The LINES Sessions are fortnightly seminars in which junior and early-career scholars from the LINES Institute discuss draft research papers in an informal setting.
Over the past years, the LINES Sessions have proven their value to many of the unit’s junior researchers, resulting in several successful article submissions and grant applications.
