Global Languages, Culture and Societies

Doctoral Open Day: Global Languages, Culture and Societies

One day event for researchers. Friday 14 February 2025, 10.00 - 17.00. British Library Knowledge Centre.

Our Doctoral Open Days are for PhD students interested in working with our collection during their studies. Each Open Day showcases a different area of our collection, with the aim of making our materials as accessible as possible.

Our Open Days give you the opportunity to:

• Understand how to access our collection
• Get expert advice from our Reference Specialists
• Speak with curators of collections relevant to their studies
• Meet researchers with similar research interests and develop your academic network
• Learn about research currently being undertaken with the Library and our role as an Independent Research Organisation

In this session, we are joined by the University of London’s School of Advanced Studies, to offer a comprehensive look at resources available in the Bloomsbury area. This event will be useful for students conducting research relating to the languages, cultures and societies of Africa, Asia, Europe, the Americas and Oceania.

In addition to meeting curators and librarians, you will hear from current PhD and postdoctoral researchers on their experiences working with our collection.
