If Covid restrictions mean that there isn’t the option for any of us to meet in person (and we hope this isn’t the case) we will offer a fully online version of the event. We also explore what our options are to have a hybrid event for the symposium, but this is still  ongoing, and for the doctoral school, we prefer to be together in real life.
