Workshop Events: Engaging with the Contact Zone
This initial project will centre on two workshops (April and June 2008) and an Autumn symposium event to identify further research strands and activities for the network of participants. The two workshops will focus on discussion of 4-5 pre-circulated papers a practitioner presentation. Papers will be open and speculative, applying individual areas of research expertise to overarching questions (methodological, theoretical and ideological) that are germane to the research interests of the group as a whole. The final structure of the symposium will be shaped by the research commonalities emerging from the workshops.
