KaserneScenen, Aarhus University // 9.30 // Thursday 22 April 2010

This will be a minor seminar of 3-4 hours where we will take our departure in the already prepared presentations by the presenters from the Aarhus area. Additionally, we will have two of the workshops originally intended for the cancelled conference, as Martin Howse and Gordan Savicic will be joining us.

Schedule
