Dear all
Apologies for any cross-postings.
UCL is hosting an interdisciplinary workshop for PhD students across the UK working on topics of space.

***CALL FOR ABSTRACTS AND PARTICIPATION***
Lost in Space is a one and a half day interdisciplinary workshop for PhD
students working on topics of space. The event will be held on Thursday
2nd December – Friday 3rd December 2010 at University College London
(UCL).
The event aims to unite PhD students from all disciplines to meet and
discuss notions of space, focusing on how you think about space, how space
influences your work and what properties of space you use to shape your
research. The hope is to provide a platform for seemingly disparate
disciplines to discuss, debate and develop ideas on space.

days, opened by invited guests who have dedicated their research careers
to spatially related topics:
* Perceiving Space *
Introduction by Dr Luciana Parisi (Goldsmiths, University of London)
