The ROUTES Network
A student-led reading group has been established for PhD students and Early Career Researchers at the University of Exeter, as a sub-group of the already established ROUTES network, whose research is based around migration. The group will meet once a month and will consist of student-led discussions around readings based on migration, members will have an opportunity to select readings they find interesting and think may benefit from discussion with others who have the same research interests. The group will also act as a peer support network with members having the opportunity to explore ideas they may have for their work in a casual setting and atmosphere.
If you would be interested in joining the group, please email Raawiyah Rifath (fr272@exeter.ac.uk) so that you can be added to the group’s mailing list. Please feel free to share this with others who may be interested or may benefit from joining this group.
