Dear friends, please find attached and below information for next years conference which I hope you will be interested in, and apologies if you have already received this. Also attached are the most recent "Qualitative Conversations" series with Art Bochner, Alec Grant and Durell Callier & Domninque Hill, the latter who provide some beautiful explanations for performative autoethnography. Best wishes Kitrina Call for Submissions The 4th Public Engagement & Performance Conference The Hepworth, Wakefield, March 15th & 16th 2018 Poised dramatically on the banks of the River Calder, the David Chipperfield designed Hepworth gallery provides an inspirational backdrop to our 2018 public engagement & performance conference. The gallery was voted museum of the year in 2017 ahead of the Tate Modern and the Lapworth due to its “breath-taking” exhibitions and its contribution to contemporary sculpture. As such, we believe The Hepworth Wakefield provides an inspirational backdrop to bring into focus public engagement issues, challenges and potentialities. We hope you will be able to join us. *There are a variety of ways to participate: * 1. Share a conference paper or presentation 2. Deliver or take part in a workshop 3.
