Spyfest6 at Queens: Spies and their families

 

One-day symposium at Queen’s University Belfast

Venue: Lanyon 0G/074 (North wing of Main Building ground floor)

 

This symposium is primarily directed at an undergraduate history audience and space is limited. QUB postgraduates and staff, as well as others, are very welcome to come, but need to register with Professor Keith Jeffery in advance, preferably by e-mail: k.jeffery@qub.ac.uk.

The event is partially subsidised by QUB, but non-QUB attendees will have to pay a fee of £20 (cheques payable to ‘Queen’s University Belfast’), in advance to Keith Jeffery, School of History and Anthropology, Queen’s University, BT7 1NN, or in person on the day.
