Timings
The conference will commence at 2.00pm on Thursday 26th September 2002 and finish at 5.00pm on Saturday 28th September 2002. Registration will be from 12.00pm on the opening day of the conference.

Papers, Reports, and Presentations
The conference is structured around the areas and issues outlined in the Call for Papers. The aim of the conference is to create inter-disciplinary 'encounter' groups between people of differing perspectives, disciplines, professions, and contexts. As such, the emphasis of the conference sessions will be on engaging with the issues raised in papers and presentations rather than on simply listening to the presentation of the paper.

300 word abstracts should be submitted by email to the Joint Organising Chairs to arrive no later than Friday 28th June 2002.
