ESALA Architectural History and Theory Seminar Series
Each semester, the Architectural History and Theory - MSc programme welcomes around five guest speakers and colleagues to present an evening seminar on their research. Seminars take place on selected Tuesdays at 5.15pm, usually in Minto House on Chambers Street, opposite the National Museum of Scotland.
The events are a fantastic opportunity to hear about the latest research in the field from researchers working across the UK, Europe and beyond; last year, for example, we had guests from Harvard University, Estonian Academy of Arts, the British School at Rome, the Universities of Melbourne, Liverpool, York and London, Glasgow School of Art and Historic Environment Scotland. The seminars are free and everyone is welcome.
