Department of Primary Education
If you would like the Bookshop to provide a range of titles and stock, for your conference or event please contact us. We will be able to confirm our availability, and arrange a brief meeting to ensure we understand and best meet your needs.
We research those titles authored by key note speakers as well as sourcing general stock reflecting the themes and subjects under discussion - in order to have on display and for sale the most relevant titles.
We participate in many events, from
graduations to book Signings. Recently we have provided support for
colleagues in Language Studies; Occupational Therapy; the Faculty of
Education; and the Sidney De Haan Research Centre.
We are able to attend conferences across the campus network. We visit Medway every two weeks during term time, and Folkestone once every term.
