If anyone is in Norwich next week, I will be taking part in a Doctoral Conference hosted by the University of East Anglia’s Education and Lifelong Learning department.
The full details of the conference are below the break. It will be held on the 28th of May, with two concurrent sessions running all day. There are some great talks in both sessions, covering topics from humour, art, education in Libya, and geeks, to maths and chocolate, the analysis of Seljuk coins, and migrant workers in the Pearl River! I will be presenting my thoughts on Lefebvre’s notion of Social Space, and how this useful model can and should be updated to help researchers consider and conceptualize Social Space online. It’s a vital area of research that can help researchers consider the importance of space online, and how space can impact areas such as actions, interactions, and designs online.
It’s going to be a great and diverse day, hopefully with something for everyone. Hopefully I’ll see you there! If you can’t attend, you can always follow along on Twitter using the #UEAPGRCon15 hashtag.
