Irrespective of the specific methodological approach, research presented in the series is anchored in a shared culture and core research values, which place strong emphasis on theoretically-informed, policy-relevant and evidence-based research.
Some of the seminars are co-hosted by the Department of Geography and Environment and the Centre for Economic Performance.
The series is organised by Dr Felipe Carozzi, Prof Riccardo Crescenzi, Dr Davide Rigo and Prof Olmo Silva. Please contact the organisers with any questions.
These research seminars are a series of expert-led discussions. Unless otherwise noted, they take place on Thursdays, 12.30pm-2pm in CKK.3.15.
If you wish to attend any of the seminars, please email geog.research@lse.ac.uk.
