SERA 50th Anniversary
Celebrating SERA at 50
In 2024, SERA celebrated its 50th anniversary with many events throughout the year. The largest of these was the November Conference. Caroline McFarlane, University of Strathclyde, created a wonderful sketch note to summarise the main ideas and discussions.
Several members also reflected on their memories of SERA through short interviews, and a Photograph Time Capsule was opened for people to share their treasured moments. If you are interested in contributing to this, please do get in touch.
