In keeping with the conference theme, we are asking contributors to include specific reference to the ways in which their own particular disciplinary frameworks shape their approach to their sites of research.”

A brilliant idea to have a surprise seminar/workshop/party and a book - a Festschrift to celebrate Christina.

She was definitely surprised!

Nearly 30 of us had found our way to Umeå, waiting for Christina to arrive, preparing the champaign (which, by the way, is a great way to start a seminar!)


Appart from champaign we also had presentations from the new book - the Festschrift, with a long list of chapters inspired by Chirstina’s work in some way.

And we had a workshop on networking. And of course, a great party!

All well worth going to Umeå for!
