Sustaining Cultural Research
Posted on | December 3, 2007 |
Below and here is the program for Wednesday’s professional development day - the pre-conference being held the day before CSAA. I am on last! So my thoughts on ‘the way forward’ for public intellectualism will probably be ‘in the direction of the pub’. I am still gathering my notes together and feel quite conscious that the last event like this left some people feeling overwhelmed. But I think we will all learn a lot, and it will be nice to get lots of bright young people together in one place!

Well, I, for one, will be there
I’m not quite sure what to expect, really, but like you say, it’ll probably be fun just to hang out with some other postgrads (and of course the speakers!)
