GSI Policy Reading Group meetings take place every other Tuesday at 15.30. In the series, we discuss a policy-relevant paper or policy proposal. Each speaker choses a paper, and decides how to kick-start the discussion, for example by giving a 15-min presentation. The rest of the time is dedicated to discussion. Please contact Femke Nijsse (f.j.m.m.nijsse@exeter.ac.uk) for more information. The schedule for this term is as follows:
