Groups and networks

Student-Led Discussion Network (SLED)

SLED is a network of student-led discussion groups that span all three undergraduate levels. These groups give students a space to engage in open discussion, explore their understanding of module content and benefit from the input of their peers. The network of groups provides a unique arena for undergraduates to test out ideas and work collaboratively in a relaxed atmosphere.

Behind the News

A weekly informal session where staff and students have the opportunity to discuss and debate current topical events. The format is flexible to allow discussion of events after they happen and we are open to suggestions for topics from students.

Behind the News is a new issue based discussion group taking place in POLIS. Each session takes up a relevant topic and asks researchers, academics and students to explore and share their view-points together.

This website is a forum for the debates and discussions started in Behind the News to extend beyond the hour.
