This open exhibition offered the chance for people to talk to current researchers about their specialisms.
Q&A sessions gave the public an insight into what the University is doing with regard to social science research and an appreciation of how research work done in universities influences our lives.
The exhibition of poster presentations was held throughout the whole week as part of the ESRC Festival of Social Science.
