Research Lunch Series 2008

 

 

The Research Lunch seminar series is primarily an opportunity for academic staff and research degree students within the School of Commerce to present their research in progress. From time to time, we also host presentations by staff from Flinders and the University of Adelaide in this series. The series also features workshops and master classes by staff and visiting scholars, and directed discussions about ongoing research projects and the research agenda of the Centre for Regulation and Market Analysis and the School of Commerce as a whole.

Seminars are held in room GK3-20 on the City West campus from noon until 1 pm every Tuesday during teaching weeks in Study Periods 2 and 5. The coordinator of Research Lunch for the first second half of 2008 is Roger Burritt Please contact Roger if you would like to present your work or have ideas for a master class or workshop.
