NABO Postgraduates
Training graduate students is one of the core activities of NABO. Masters and PhD programmes in the institutions involved in NABO have been, and are, producing the next generation of researchers. These students play a fundamental role and often lead research projects and excavations and these pages will highlight the work of both past and present postgraduate students. Here, we will include access to dissertations and theses, which often contain a wealth of information which rarely makes into academic journal articles.
Theses and Dissertations
Dissertations and theses produced by graduate students are usually only accessible via the libraries of the institutions they graduated from, but with the consent of individuals we are making some available on the NABO website. Please email Anthony Newton if you have a thesis you would to be made available on the NABO website. It may be that your thesis is already available online and if it is, please let us have the link.
We also plan to profile students and allow them to describe and explain their research. If you have any other ideas please let us know.
