Registration is now open for the conference "The Place I Call Research" at The University of Manchester. It will feature 18 high-quality international papers discussing the role of place and space. The panels will talk about Media and creative industries, belonging, disability and accessibility, gender and digital spaces: some of the topics will be accessibility in university buildings, eye-tracking technology, hyperlocal media, literature and place, etc. You can see our full programme here:
