Geographies of the Self

De 15 e 17 de Abril, na Sociedade de Geografia de Lisboa - Rua das Portas de Santo Antão 100 [Metro Restauradores], em Lisboa - vai ter lugar a 31ª Conferência Anual da Associação Portuguesa de Estudos Anglo-Americanos.

O tema é Geographies of the Self.

Aos apaixonados pelos Estudos Ingleses e Americanos, assim como pelos Estudos Interartes, aqui vos deixo o (intensíssimo e diversificado) programa e o convite para que apareçam.

Refira-se que a Sociedade de Geografia de Lisboa é um dos tesouros mais belos de Lisboa, que muita gente desconhece.

Só pela visita às instalações valeria a pena.

No entanto, para além desse lado lúdico e de descoberta, as intervenções plenárias e sectoriais (são cinco painéis a funcionar em simultâneo) demonstram a vitalidade desta área de investigação, estudo e ensino no nosso país.

A entrada é livre:
