Keynotes and panels

 

intersections 2016 is a space for postgraduate students to share their work and build supportive networks.

 

However, to inspire our continuing academic endeavours there will also be a keynote address on each day of the conference. A panel of academics from a range of disciplines will also discuss a selected topic.
