Bath seminar timetable

Semiotics as Philosophy for Education, Seminar 2

University of Bath
7^th and 8^th May 2012

Note: Each speaker has been given 25 minutes, and there is additional time for discussion at the end of each session. Speakers can, therefore, choose either to speak for 25 minutes or to speak for less to allow individual questions before the wider discussion.

If you require any audio-visual aids, please inform Claire Drake.

All sessions will take place in 1WN3.17 (map and directions in the end). Please note that on Monday 7^th, access to 1WN will only be available from the north entrance, rather than from the parade.

Directions:

From the bus stop/taxi rank at the EAST end of the main Parade:

Walk up the steps on to the PARADE. Keeping to the right hand side of the parade, turn right after the COSTA coffee shop and immediately before the Library building, signposted 'Chaplaincy Centre' and 'Eastwood Residences'. Follow the path for 30 metres towards 3East, where the path divides into 3 paths - take the middle path and walk to the road. Turn left at the road, and after about 10 metres, you will find the first entrance to 1 West North on your left (you will have to turn around to see it), with a second entrance after a further 30 metres, also on your left. Once inside the building, go up stairs ONE floor to Level Three, then follow the signs to 1WN3.17. Please note that on Monday 7th May these will be the only entrances open as the University is closed. On Tuesday 8th May, there will be access to 1 West North from the Parade.
