Talking Postgraduate research in the Arts & Humanities

“Talking Postgraduate research in the Arts & Humanities at Maynooth University” is a series of sessions hosted by the Posgraduate community from the School of Modern Languages, Literatures and Cultures at Maynooth University with the support of the Arts and Humanities Institute. These interactive webinars are an open space for all postgraduate students -particularly but not exclusively- in the Arts & Humanities to get together and share their research work at Maynooth University, as well as their challenges, achievements, and their experiences through the Postgraduate journey. These informal presentations will be followed by conversations between participants, fostering collegiality, as well as promoting research and supporting undergraduate students considering pursuing a postgraduate degree at MU. For this purpose, two research-oriented sessions will be followed by a special event, scheduled in April to offer students the opportunity to learn more about programmes, services and funding available at the university; along with a second special session discussing the personal changes and challenges experiences by current postgraduate students.
