All sessions at the conference are delivered in the auditorium, a beautiful and spacious room overlooking the river Calder.

If you paper wasn’t accepted this year, please try again next year.

Virus update
We are aware that the coronavirus might have created some concern about travel and public spaces. We do not know of any specific problems in the locality and the Hepworth Gallery remains open, so we plan to continue with the conference unless the situation changes for the worse.
