PhD Masterclass Series — Coming Soon   Ever wondered what IR research actually looks like beyond the textbook? This semester, the Curin International Relations Society is launching a new masterclass series featuring PhD researchers presenting their work in short, accessible sessions followed by open Q&A.   Details on dates, topics, and presenters will be available soon.

  CIRS Debates This House Believes.... TBC   CIRS invites you to our first Oxford Union-style debate, a formal, adversarial format modelled on one of the world's oldest and most respected deliberative traditions; two sides, one motion, and a room that decides who makes the better case.   Unlike a panel discussion, this is a debate in the truest sense: prepared speakers argue opposing positions, face live challenges from the floor, and attempt to move the room. The winner is determined not by who starts with the most support, but by how many votes they change.   Expect tight arguments, pointed questions, and a vote that actually matters. Whether you're coming to speak from the floor, to be persuaded, or to watch the format in action, all are welcome.   Format Pre- and post-debate vote — the swing determines the outcome Open floor contributions from all attendees Formal Chair throughout   Speakers Proposition: TBC TBC Opposition: TBC TBC Chair: Connor Maloney – President, Curtin International Relations Society Details Date: TBC Time: TBC Location: TBC 

Coming Soon — CIRS x CERN In Conversation: The Manosphere   Curtin International Relations Society and the Curtin Extremist Research Network are teaming up to host an event exploring the manosphere and its links to radicalisation and extremist ideologies.   Bringing together researchers and academics from across International Relations, Strategic Studies, and History, this discussion-style panel will encourage open, cross-disciplinary dialogue on one of the most pressing issues today.   More details, including confirmed panellists, venue, and date, will be announced soon.
