SMA Student Colloquium
Each year the Society for Medieval Archaeology invites a student member to take on the role of Student Representative. Student Reps provide a voice for our growing student membership on SMA Council and also help organise our annual SMA Student Colloquium and career workshops. Other roles include the maintenance of our social media platforms and representing the Society at conferences.
If you are interested in taking on the role of Student Representative, please contact the Society’s Honorary Secretary, Dr Karen Milek, via karen.b.milek@durham.ac.uk with a cover letter, CV and referee details.
