The next Caribbean Research Seminar in the North will be held at the School of English, University of Leeds, UK on Friday 24th January 2003, 1pm-5pm.

The research seminars constitute an interdisciplinary series on the Caribbean and its diaspora, initially co-organised by researchers at the

The University of Leeds is situated to the north of the city centre, and is within walking distance (1.4 miles) from the Leeds railway station. Parking
on campus costs £2.60 and is allocated on a 'first come' basis, although it is rare for the car park to be full on a Friday afternoon. There is also a
secure public multi-storey car park behind Woodhouse Lane within five minutes walking distance of the campus. The School of English is at 10
Cavendish Road, just inside the main entrance to the campus.
A map of the campus can be found at http://www.leeds.ac.uk/campus_map/campus.htm or in greater detail at http://www.leeds.ac.uk/campus_map/map_sec2.htm, which marks the School of English (no. 60).
