Start to 2015
Plans for 2015
- The draft seminar programme for 2015 is on this blog as well. It looks very exciting.
- The deliberations for the year will culminate with a conference on 1 December (note change of date), for project team members and others who are interested. Michalinos Zembylas, who writes about the politics of affect in post-trauma societies, will make keynote at this event.
- A further highlight for 2015 is a writing retreat during the final recess in October - we just need to source the funds and make the plans.
- We decided to attempt two joint team papers in the second semester: one on the project framework and one on data obtained from the interviews.
