College of Social Sciences and International Studies Showcase

The fourth in our series of BTG Showcase events focussed on the College of Social Sciences and International Studies (CSSIS).  This was an opportunity to hear about the breadth of research in this College and the potential for collaboration with other disciplines (particularly focusing on developing links with Mathematics, Engineering and Physical Sciences).

Presentations gave an overview of current CSSIS research that connects to other disciplines, using the areas of the new HASS Strategy themes to provide a structure. The event concluded with a discussion session on the potential for extending existing connections and for new collaborations and lunch.
