We\u2019ll also have two informal talks: one from\u00a0Keith Johnstone, our new Director of International Relations and Development, who\u2019ll share his experiences of working overseas, and one from Aline Giordano, our Doctoral College Manager who will share some personal experiences.\u00a0 There will be plenty of time for discussion connection with colleagues.
