Education, Psychology). Students on Taught and Research Postgraduate Courses
are encouraged to apply.

the title of your paper, five keywords, your name, institution, research
status (PhD, MPhil, MRes, MA), and email address.

Please send abstract submissions and enquiries to the organising committee
