Seminar programme
The Communication, Media and Journalism (CMJ) group regularly host seminars in which our own researchers and those from other institutions share their work.
If you'd like to suggest a speaker for a future CMJ seminar, please email the seminar series coordinator Dr Dmitry Chernobrov at d.chernobrov@sheffield.ac.uk.
Owing to the Covid-19 pandemic our research seminars are currently taking place online. Please see below for details of the semester 2 programme for 2022. All times are UK time.
