In this seminar, we examine some recent developments in research. The seminar is not the usual format of a speaker presentation. Rather, a couple of people will introduce a recent development - methodological or substantive - from their field that may be of interest to the group. This will lead to questions and discussion of how this development can be applied to other work or developed. The aim is to create fruitful and informative cross-disciplinary discussions.
