Termly Meetings

CIRCLETS holds termly meetings for its members which enable in-house discussion and dissemination of researcher/practitioner research. Details of the next meeting will be given here shortly.

Weekly Meetings

Researcher Social: An informal, relaxed environment for anyone working within the School of Education and Social Work to come together and chat, discuss ideas, concerns, etc, and share lunch/refreshments brought by themselves. These events are led by our sister research centre CIE and take place every Thursday at 1pm during term time in the ground floor meeting room behind reception in Essex House. Any/all researchers within the School are welcome to propose and present any aspect of their research at these meetings. Contact j.hernandez-fernandez@sussex.ac.uk
