Call for Theory Sessions

The Theory Sessions--a student-run initiative--serves as a forum for the exchange of ideas to promote interdisciplinary research in theory at the Centre and across campus. Students and faculty present their papers and engage in spirited discussions, with contributions from interested Centre scholars as well as faculty and students from other fields and disciplines at Western.

For anyone who is interested, please email an abstract of 150-300 words to Maxwell Hyett at mhyett@uwo.ca.
