Workshop 2: World Literatures and Global Conflict advance information

All of the day’s events will take place in the Arts Complex at the University of Bristol, 3-5 Woodland Road, BS8 1TB. Please go to the main entrance at 3-5 to access the building. The morning sessions will be held in Lecture Room 1, which is clearly marked with signs from the entrance. To get there, you will follow a long corridor and will find the room, labelled LR1, on your right. In the afternoon, we will have reading group sessions in seminar rooms in the building, which I will guide you to on the day. The final session, a reading and discussion with Billy Kahora and Selma Dabbagh, will take place back in LR1. Tea, coffee and lunch will all take place in the Humanities Common Room, just down the hall from LR1.
