> Space is a student-led colloquium for postgraduates that will explore
> the many ways in which social and spatial activity and identity are

> political imperatives, alternative spaces, performance spaces and
> theatres, marketplaces, pubs, art galleries and museums, annexed
> spaces, sacred or spiritual spaces or domestic contexts; the
> problematics of space and the mechanisms of globalisation.

> Organised by the Sociology of Theatre and Performance Research Group
> at Goldsmiths (led by Professor Maria Shevtsova), this event will
> provide an opportunity for postgraduates in all fields across the UK
> to engage with their peers across disciplines in a challenging and
> convivial environment. In addition to showcasing their own research
> through the presentation of conference papers, students will be able
> to participate in several roundtable discussions and panel sessions

> postgraduates across the country to meet, network and exchange ideas
> in a truly interdisciplinary context.
