MANCEPT / MANCEPT Workshops / Programme 2023

Programme 2023: Overview

Welcome to this year’s MANCEPT Workshops! We are very excited to welcome you to Manchester. Below you can find the general schedule. The workshops operate by using 5 sessions. Not all panels run during all 5 sessions, so attendees are welcome to drop into other panels during their free time. Room locations and the overall panel timings can be found here. Specific schedules, detailing who is speaking when can be found by clicking the relevant link to panels here.

This year’s workshops will take place in a hybrid manner. Some participants will be joining us remotely, and several of our panels will be online-only. We will be using Zoom, the links for which will be shared by panel convenors.

To help reduce waste and our impact on the planet, this year’s schedule is once again entirely online. However, there will be many MANCEPT helpers dotted around who will be happy to help you if you come across any issues. The MANCEPT helpers will be wearing purple so they will not be difficult to spot. Additionally, we will not have plastic water bottles available. Instead, attendees are encouraged to bring their own bottle which you can fill up at the water-filling locations and taps around the buildings. Finally, we will only be serving vegetarian and vegan food during lunch and refreshment breaks (meat options are nonetheless available for the conference dinner if they have been requested).

All lunches will be served in the Arthur Lewis Building Common Room (left behind the stairs/past the lifts). Refreshments will be served in the Arthur Lewis Building Common Room and in the cafe/quad area on the ground floor of the Humanities Bridgeford Street Building.
