Dr. Laycock’s research in recent years has covered the British Armenophile movement and the British response to the Armenian Genocide, Armenian refugee relief post WWI, and also British travel writing on Armenia. She has highlighted Soviet Armenian History, especially with regards to the repatriation to Armenia and homeland-Diaspora relations.

Refreshments will be served.
