This page contains information about our upcoming seminars and seminars we have held in the past (many of which were recorded and are available to watch).
The research presented in each aligns with the work the University of Bath's Department of Education is doing. Seminars will cover topics such as research in the fields of educational leadership, management and governance, internationalisation and globalisation; language and educational practices; and learning, pedagogy and diversity.
All of our seminars are free to attend and take place on the University of Bath campus or online. If you have any questions about our seminars, please contact Dr Nicola Savvides
