We are delighted to announce that we are running a new series of research seminars on Wednesday afternoons via Zoom, beginning in October 2024. As you will see from the list below, experts on a wide range of Marian subjects have kindly accepted the invitation to discuss their scholarship with us.
If you are able to join us for one or more of the presentations, please register by sending an email to Catherine O’Brien: info@marianstudies.ac.uk. You’ll receive the free Zoom link the day before each event.
If you are interested in the topics but not able to attend on the day, please let us know and we can send you a recording of the presentation afterwards.
The seminars will begin at 3pm (in the UK)
