CPERN monthly workshops

During the pandemic we launched a series of CPERN monthly workshops, to allow our research network to continue to offer opportunities for us to meet and discuss new and developing issues and research in critical political economy. The series worked well so we have continued! This normally takes place at 5pm on the final Thursday of the month – join our email list to be updated on when the next workshop is due to take place.
