Millburn House Symposium - 27th May, 2015

Millburn House is hosting an inaugural interdisciplinary symposium as part of the Faculty of Arts
Postgraduate Research Festival, to provide a platform for postgraduates across the faculty to share
and discuss research. The broad theme for the day is Representation in the Arts, and our
programme of papers, performance pieces, and roundtable discussions will approach this theme from
a diverse range of perspectives. The symposium aims to be the springboard for a more permanent
interdisciplinary network of researchers, and we look forward to welcoming the PGR community.
