The School of Psychology hosts an annual Jeeves Lecture as part of its seminar programme. These lectures were instigated in honour of Emeritus Professor Malcolm Jeeves (CBE, Hon DSc (Edin), FPRSE), the School's Foundation Professor of Psychology (1969-1993). The lectures are given by eminent psychologists and neuroscientists and a list of previous speakers is given below. The lectures are generally held towards the end of the second semester, and the Principal of the University usually takes the Chair. In addition to staff and students of the University, members of the public are also welcome at this lecture. More information can be found on the seminars page.
