I work with a lot of different people. In addition to research and writing\, I co nduct workshops\, facilitate discussions\, give talks\, and participate in panel discussions on a range of topics that I find interesting.\n\nwww.do nnalanclos.com\n\nCost\n£45 members\n£90 non member institutions\n\nInfo rmation for joining:\n\n This session is virtual and will run via Zoom.
