What I am finding great about this symposium is the high proportion of PhD students who are presenting. These couple of days are giving those individuals at the start of their careers, both academic and other, to present their thoughts and research among peers - but among peers that they may not know. However, there are also a number of professionals and students from this years Masters Course, aswell as prospective PhD students and this makes for a nice mix.
I'd also like to thank the bookshop for providing a stand during the lunchbreak - I hope that they were successful!
This blog was set up as a record for Materiality and Intangibility: Contested Zones, an international two-day Symposium and Live Art Event held on the 14 and 15 December 2009 at the School of Museum Studies, University of Leicester. It was planned and organised by PhD students for PhD students and was funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC).
