Oxford University Discussion Group on Organised Crime and Corruption

The Oxford University Organised Crime and Corruption Discussion Group meets every Wednesday at St Antony's College. It is a multidisciplinary group designed to bring together researchers working on similar issues at the university, but also welcomes experts from outside the university. Each presenter provides a list of recommended readings a week in advance, and the meetings work as informal seminars. The group is open to members of the university departments as well as to graduate students
