Marketplace and Curiosity Cafés
Research is Structured Curiosity. It is poking and prying with a purpose (Zora Neale Hurston 1942, Jan Roubal 2018) .
The marketplace and cafés are where we go to assimilate the conference in semi-structured space. Places for discovery, emergence, audacity of imagination and platforms of connection. Places where we can discuss the conference and its themes, browse market stalls, find out about projects, meet friends and strangers, develop ideas, be heard and listened to. There will be three sessions for this, over the conference.
We are looking for people who can be on the committee organising the cafés and marketplace. If you would be interested in this, you would need to be able to come to meetings roughly once a month, and be able to support at the conference. Please contact:
Claire Asherson Bartram clairebartram21@gmail.com or
Anne Garrety garretya@gmail.com with your offers and suggestions.
We would like suggestions of themes for discussions. Please send them to: Claire Asherson Bartram or Anne Garrety at the above emails.
We look forward to seeing you in Birmingham.
