This event follows on from our first workshop of this seminar series held in March 2013, where we debated the current research directions on minority rights protection with a range of participants, including academic, civil society organisations, PhD and other research students.

Participants: Mphil, MRes and PhD students; academics (as discussants)

Other documentation:

Presenters and participants will be required to provide a brief overview of their affiliation and research interests for circulation at the workshop by 31 May 2013.

Expected result: The idea of this workshop is to debate the significant research which is being undertaken by our doctoral students. It also aims to serve as a networking opportunity between junior and senior scholars in the field.
