Beckett International Foundation Seminar
Minghella Studios, University of Reading, 4 November 2023
Registration for the BIF seminar on Saturday 4 November 2023 is now available here.
As in previous years, our speakers represent a mixture of early career researchers as well as established scholars, local and international, reflecting current research into Beckett’s work. We hope that the programme will, as in the past, attract a wide and varied audience.
