*Appropriating Space*
22-23 February 2008
Goldsmiths, University of London
The Sociology of Theatre and Performance Research Group at Goldsmiths would
like to invite to you attend their national interdisciplinary
colloquium, *Appropriating
Space*. *Organised entirely by and for *postgraduates, *Appropriating Space
*will explore the many ways in which social and spatial activity and
identity are intertwined.
Over the course of this two-day event, postgraduate students working in all
fields across the UK will have the opportunity to meet, exchange ideas and
present their research in a formal conference setting. The event programme
will include research presentations from emerging scholars, as well as
student-led panel sessions and round table discussions, and we need *you* in
order to make it a grand success! The colloquium will draw to a close on
Saturday night with a festive celebration, where presenters and audience
members alike will be able to kick back and relax over a meal and a glass of
wine after two days of academic stimulation!
If you would like to attend *Appropriating Space* or to request a programme,
please send an email to [log in to unmask] We would like to
encourage you to reserve your place early, as space is limited!
We look forward to hearing from you!
Sincerely,
Anna Porubcansky and Rachel Shapiro (Co-Chairs)
