Congratulations
We held the BAAL/CUP Seminar "Connecting Discourses (Academic and Professional Worlds)" here in the Centre last Friday and Saturday, and I would like to both thank and congratulate the team. The seminar was a great success - it attracted a wide range of people, the papers were thought-provoking, and it has provided the PAD group with an excellent foundation for moving forward.
