Touring History
November 27th 2009
The Centre for Colonialism and its Aftermath's annual End-of-Year Work-in-Progress seminar in Launceston.
The objective was to tell other people working in the broad areas of colonial and postcolonial studies about your current research project, and to hear their responses and suggestions; to gather together unexpected synergies which may arise during the day; these occasions are always intellectually stimulating.
My Linen Memorial presentation was in the impressive Tamar Valley
Centre Room of the
Albert Hall.
