Tuesday and Wednesday (16-17 June 2009) will include further keynote addresses combined with parallel workshop meetings (on each of the sub-themes), and a final plenary panel on 17 June. Workshops are designed to be a forum for discussion of research in progress related to the conference sub-themes and to facilitate collaboration among junior and senior scholars. Each sub-theme workshop will have about 10-12 participants. Each sub-theme will be assigned a coordinator, whose tasks will include summarising research and discussion themes and presenting these summaries at the closing plenary.
