To everyone who planned to attend the Middle Eastern Studies lecture series this term:

After kicking off the term with Andrew Marsham’s wonderful talk, we are now forced to cancel
all subsequent events because of ongoing industrial action.

We hope to be able to bring these great speakers to Cambridge at some point in the near future.

All the best,
