criticism and analysis session: work in progress

A series of structured discussions of work-in-progress, normally held on Thursday afternoons at 2:00. These sessions are central to the process of establishing the value, direction and critical re-framing of a given research project or undertaking. These sessions provide opportunities for individual researchers to present work-in-progress and have a sustained critical and analytical discussion of their work. Each “crit” will be pre-programmed with a specific focus so that the criticism generated is clearly targeted at particular issues within the research process. On occasion a full-day will be given over to these “crit” sessions in order to afford several researchers a chance to present work in sequence. See current Autumn 2008 schedule.
