Postgraduate Symposium
Friday 14 June 2013, 1.00PM to 4.30
The Cabinet of Curiosities would like to invite all CREMS postgraduates to the annual symposium (see below for programme). Our speakers will be followed by an open discussion on the theme of 'performative spaces' (the theme for next year's Society for Renaissance Studies conference: http://www.rensoc.org.uk/node/1692 ).
In addition, if you have a conference abstract you are working on, or plan to write in the near future, bring it along; this is a good way to get some informal feedback and the abstracts will be great for getting discussion going!
There will be lunch, and we will also be heading out for drinks and dinner afterwards.
