Open Meetings
We host SoMA open meetings every month. This is a forum for you to put forward ideas, meet other SoMA members, and discuss future events and plans.
SoMA Workshop Series
The SoMA workshop series is a space for students and faculty members to talk about theory/ethnography/ideas inspired by a weekly reading. These workshops are intended to create a "learning outside the classroom" environment, where MSc students, PhD students, post docs, and faculty members can come together and engage with material in an informal and non-hierarchical way. The workshop series occurs weekly on Thursdays, from 10-11am in room CMB 3.15.
Current reading schedule is as follows:
TBC
If you are interested in joining, please feel free to stop by! For any questions or access to PDFs of the readings, please contact a SoMA Rep .
SoMA Symposium
Every year we host an annual symposium. Centred around a cross-cutting theme, the symposium gives our members an opportunity to present their work in a supportive academic setting.
What's more, the symposium is traditionally preceded by a writing retreat - a funded weekend away where delegates can develop their papers, share research ideas and problems, and enjoy the Scottish countryside!
Want to Organise a SoMA event?
SoMA is a student-led organisation whose activities and agenda are driven by its members. If you're a SoMA member with an idea for an event or activity you'd like to run, just come to a monthly open meeting or contact one of the reps to see how we can make it happen!
Inclusivity and Access Policy
We want all our events to be inclusive and accessible, including for students and ECRs with specific needs and caregiving responsibilities. Members are welcome to bring children to all of our events. If you require adjustments or have concerns or suggestions regarding a particular event, please contact the responsible rep.
