| | Anglesey
and the Sea
Day School:
8.30 am - 5.15 pm, Saturday, 7 February, 2004
Hen Goleg, University of Wales Bangor |
|
Two
years ago the theme of the Day School was the landscape of Anglesey. This
time the focus is on the sea, a subject which will have wide appeal. Major
maritime themes are covered in the morning lectures, and in the afternoon
there are shorter contributions which are “taster” sessions, introducing
a wide variety of topics.
The aims of the day school are to inform you, to stimulate your interest and
inspire you to become actively involved in research.
There will be time for questions and discussion |
