I work with a l ot of different people. In addition to research and writing\, I conduct wo rkshops\, facilitate discussions\, give talks\, and participate in panel d iscussions on a range of topics that I find interesting.\n\nwww.donnalancl os.com\n\n \;\n\nCost\n£45.00 members\n£90.00 non member institution s\n\nInformation for joining:\n\n This session is virtual and will run vi a Zoom.
