Reading group

We host a monthly reading group where we discuss work that is relevant to a more than human understanding of social work concerns.

We meet online on the first Wednesday of the month, from 13.30pm - 15.00pm. New members are welcome – if you’d like to come along, please email heather.lynch@gcu.ac.uk to be included in the distribution list.
