<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Week 3, 2pm (Friday 1 November)</b>

(No speaker confirmed at present, but we're still hoping to book one.)<br />
<br />
In Hilary Term 2014 we plan to have sessions on 7 February and 7 March 2014, with papers by Will Abberley and Daniel McCann; the usual slot in 5th week (21 February) clashes with a proposed workshop on the ether organised by Jaume Navarro, so there won't be a session on that day.
In Trinity Term 2014 we hope to have a paper by Kirsten Shepherd-Barr, and others as yet to be invited. If you are interested in giving a paper, please contact <a href="mailto:michael.whitworth@ell.ox.ac.uk">Michael Whitworth</a>.<br />
<br />
<i>Convenors: Dr Michael Whitworth (Merton)
