Apologies for any cross-posting, but the PSA women and politics group will
be partially sponsoring this conference in lieu of holding our own
separate conference next year as this conference will be taking place in
the UK. The line-up looks fantastic and I'm sure you'll agree this is one
not to miss!
Best wishes,
Rainbow
