The PhiGS Colloquium aims to promote discussion among graduate researchers working in the same general areas as us at Kent, where we have a wide range of topics of inquiry. Such diversity promotes the advancement of inquiry through cross-pollination between fields, and the Colloquium seeks to facilitate such fruitful encounters.

The Colloquium will be a hybrid event – with all talks available in-person and online – to optimise flexibility for all participants. The Colloquium is free for all participants, speakers and other attendees alike. We intend to provide light refreshments and lunch for all in-person speakers and attendees, as well as a wine reception at the end of the second day.

Registration is now open. If you wish to attend, please contact Mark Garron on [email protected] stating whether you wish to participate in-person or online and, if in-person, whether you wish to join the conference dinner after at the end of the first day (extra cost, about £20). There are limited spaces for in-person attendance, while there is more space online. The deadlines for registration are 31 May 2024.

The organiser would like to thank everyone who helped make this event possible.
