About this event
The Royal Society for Asian Affairs and SOAS University of London will be holding a day of presentations for sixth form students talking about aspects of Asia on Wednesday 6 November 2022.
The aim is to introduce students to speakers, subjects and concepts they may not have previously experienced as part of their curriculum and which will, we hope, inspire them. The conference is open to all in the 16-19 age-group, although students interested in pursuing geography, law, religion, international affairs, social sciences or Asian language pathways may find it particularly relevant.
After two years of no live events and the provision of podcasts. We are delighted to announce that this year a live event is possible.
The day is free and lunch is provided.
