| 2008 Seminar Series -
Semester 1 | |
|
Dear list members,
Please find below first half
year schedule for our 2008 seminar series. Seminars are routinely
held at 5.30pm on either Wednesdays or Fridays at either the
University of Western Sydney or University of Sydney.
A reminder with details of venue and abstract will be sent in the
week prior
to each seminar. We look forward to seeing you there.
For venue details please the
seminar
page on our site.
In addition to our regular program of presenters we will
introduce two 'conversation' sessions this semester.
Kind regards,
AABS Executive |
|
|
|
Conversation sessions are an
opportunity for an open discussion amongst all
participants on issues such as:
- current work in progress
- latest scholarship
- teaching methods
- research tools and software
- field trips
Whilst the session will be chaired by an
executive member the opportunity is for an open
discussion of latest scholarship, tools and methods.
Each conversation will have an ostensible theme, but
one that is intended only as a departure point.
Conversations continue after 7.00pm over dinner at
a local restaurant. |
