Doing Research Amongst Technologies
Doing Research Amongst Technologies is a Summer Term 2011 (5 May- 7 July) workshop series exploring the possibilities and uncertainties of conducting postgraduate research today. Participants can sample innovative research that creatively employs or interrogates 'technologies', highlighting the possible practical applications while also provoking epistemological and theoretical questions about the nature of technology within research practice.
Participation in this workshop is free and open to all postgraduate students at Birkbeck as well as the other University of London colleges but registration is essential. For further details visit: http://researchamongsttechnologies.wordpress.com/
