The Postgraduate Forum (PGF) is a society for postgraduate students of the School of History, Classics and Archaeology at Newcastle University.
The PGF organises and runs events aimed at postgraduates and early-career researchers throughout each academic year:
Seminar Series: A series of talks by postgraduate and early career researchers – a chance to present your work to a few friendly faces, and a great way to practice public speaking or just get a few ideas moving! They will be on Wednesday lunchtimes in spring 2026. This year, there are plans for interactive workshops and roundtables too!
PGF Conference: We hold an annual conference each May. This year’s theme and instructions on how to apply coming soon!
E-Journal, Pons Aelius: The PGF publishes an e-journal for early career and postgraduate research in History, Classics, and Archaeology. Visit the Pons Aelius pages of the site for more information.
There are so many opportunities for you to get your research out there!
Get in touch with the PGF at shspgf@newcastle.ac.uk and find our socials on our Linktree.
