BERG meetings this semester
by Christine Anna Caldwell 14 Feb '11

14 Feb '11

Hi all, Just a quick email to encourage people to sign up for a BERG slot this semester. Before I start pointing the finger at particular people, can I suggest that any of our BERG PhD students who have not presented before (or have not presented in the past year) seriously consider signing up for one of the remaining slots? And remember that you don't necessarily need to have completed a study to give a BERG talk. We often have sessions where people present their proposed research, or some pilot data, both of which provide good opportunities for feedback on research design. Thanks! Sign up is here: http://www.doodle.com/bxsrvv5tbhm8skvs Christine.

09 Feb '11

Hi all, Just forwarding a flyer for an upcoming event at the Macrobert (also Glasgow and Edinburgh dates) that may appeal to some BERG folk. Janis Claxton was also behind "Enclosure 44" at Edinburgh Zoo that caused quite a stir a couple of summers ago - see: http://www.janisclaxton.com/works/enclosure-44-humans I'm sure Humanimalia will also be an interesting show! Best Sarah From: Janis Claxton [mailto:janis@janisclaxton.com] Sent: 08 February 2011 22:26 To: Hannah Buchanan-Smith; Sarah-Jane Vick Subject: HUMANIMALIA - COMING SOON TO TRAMWAY... You might be thinking 'What on earth is Humanimalia?... There are a few helpful definitions at the bottom of this email but to really find out for yourself there's only one thing to do - catch Janis Claxton Dance's latest production when it opens in Tramway on Friday 4th March. If you can't make the Glasgow performances check out the tour list below. You won't want to miss this ground breaking new work. It's evolving as you read this...
