The Centre for Marian Studies at St Mary’s University is delighted to offer a new monthly programme of online seminars that will give Marian researchers the opportunity to present their work in a supportive atmosphere. It will be an occasion for postgraduates to discuss one of their thesis questions, and for established Marian scholars to put forward a new area of investigation.
The seminars will take place on Wednesday afternoons at 3pm (in the UK) and be chaired by Professor Sarah Jane Boss.
Please find the details below. If you would like to join the audience and receive the Zoom link for one or more of the seminars, please send an email to: info@marianstudies.ac.uk
