Seminar Series
About our seminar series
We’re excited to continue the LuCiD Seminar Series in 2025/26 information to follow. Thank you to our speakers and attendees so far for your valuable contributions. Recordings of past talks are available online for anyone who missed them, and we look forward to many more insightful sessions ahead!
Our Seminar Series invites language experts from across the world, as well as leading researchers from the Centre, to share their research. Seminars take place monthly during term time and cover a range of topics linked to language acquisition. They are open to anyone wishing to attend- contact us to be added to the mailing list.
Following each seminar, there is typically an informal lunch where attendees can engage in discussions and exchange ideas with the speaker. We warmly invite you to join us in Manchester for these engaging sessions. While we will make efforts to accommodate remote participation through Zoom, it's important to note that the in-person experience offers the most enriching interaction.
