Writing Workshop: led by Himadeep Muppidi and Erzsebet Strausz will run each morning, exploring and practicing alternative ways of writing as well as uncovering motivations for traditional writing formats.

Participants’ Research Presentations:  Two sessions will run, each consisting of 5 presentations of 10 minutes, if there is demand:  there is no obligation to give a presentation, but if your funding requires you to do so, or if you would like to present, let us know. Priority will be given to those who need to do this to get funding. 

Posters: It is also possible to display a poster detailing your research: please let us know if you would like to do this.

Surgeries: Three sessions have been set aside for research surgeries. These are sessions where participants can discuss their research with one of the Guest Professors. There is no need to book in advance: during each session Guest Professors will be available for informal discussions at a table in the music room.

Publishing workshop: Led by Nicola Parkin of Routledge will give a chance for participants to discuss publishing strategies and the practicalities of getting published.  During the School, Jenny Edkins and Nick Vaughan-Williams, editors of the Routledge Interventions Series, will be on hand for individual discussions.

Closing Plenary: We are delighted to announce that the closing plenary will be given by Professor Michael Dillon, Emeritus Professor at Lancaster University.

Films relevant to the seminars will be shown during the School; there will be walks and other activities; particpants are encouraged to bring musical instruments; Gregynog has several pianos.
