Our research group is growing very fast and we're excited to have so many interested in our talks!
To clarify, all of them are hosted online and are primarily aimed at a student and academic audience.
However, if you're still interested in attending please do get in touch.
This Wednesday (18 Oct) Dr Steve Ashby and Dr Stephen Harrison, two leading Viking artefact specialists, will give a public lecture in York titled 'The York-Dublin Axis Reconsidered – 21st-century approaches to Viking Towns'.
Not to be missed!
