Dear all,
The organisational committee is very pleased to invite you to the Research School's fifth biennial conference, which will take place 28-30 August 2009 at Sandbjerg, situated in the South of Denmark.
The theme of the conference is "The Modern Field".
The conference will consist of plenary sessions with key note lectures by among others Marilyn Strathern. In addition to the key note lectures, there will be six parallel running thematic workshops and you are all invited to present a paper at one of the workshop sessions (please see attached call for papers).
