Appropriating Space
22-23 February 2008
Goldsmiths, University of London
The Sociology of Theatre and Performance Research Group at Goldsmiths would like to invite to you attend their national interdisciplinary colloquium, Appropriating Space. Organised entirely by and for postgraduates, Appropriating Space will explore the many ways in which social and spatial activity and identity are intertwined.
Over the course of this two-day event, postgraduate students working in all fields across the UK will have the opportunity to meet, exchange ideas and present their research in a formal conference setting. The event programme will include research presentations from emerging scholars, as well as student-led panel sessions and round table discussions, and we need you in order to make it a grand success! The colloquium will draw to a close on Saturday night with a festive celebration, where presenters and audience members alike will be able to kick back and relax over a meal and a glass of wine after two days of academic stimulation!
If you would like to attend Appropriating Space or to request a programme, please send an email to appropriating.space@gmail.com. We would like to encourage you to reserve your place early, as space is limited!
We look forward to hearing from you!
Sincerely,
Anna Porubcansky and Rachel Shapiro (Co-Chairs)
