Walking tour of Faculty – IER

Writing about web page http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/soc/festival/walkingtour/

As part of the Faculty Walking Tour IER staff put together a range of materials (including posters, reports and Bulletins) on display in the IER library yesterday.  We had a few visitors and some interesting questions about the research findings presented in the posters.

We even had one of IER's PhD students on hand to talk about her experience of postgraduate studies.

Thank you to all our visitors who made our efforts worthwhile!
