The DEMAND Centre hosts regular reading groups. Initially these groups met primarily met to discuss papers by selected authors. However in 2014 DEMANDers began to use the groups to discuss their in-progress papers with each other, and the focus of the reading groups changed. If you would like further information about any of the papers discussed, please contact the author(s) directly.
