Pre-workshop entertainment

We have received a few emails from participants regarding preparation for the workshop. To clarify, you do not have to come with a formal paper or chapter from your thesis, as the small group sessions will be based on the discussion points from your abstract. Traditional (lecture style) conferences are fine, but the aim of this workshop is to cultivate a space for the discussion of ideas, not a presentation of them. We hope that our alternative approach will provide a more interactive experience and environment for participants.

For those of you looking for some pre-workshop ‘entertainment’, below are some suggested readings to keep you occupied. All of the articles listed can be found quite easily using Google Scholar. Please feel free to recommend articles, books, websites etc that you feel will be of interest to other participants.

Enjoy!
