Bright Double Room in Beautiful Victorian House beside Park ——————————————————— Date available: 24/08 Location: Brixton/Oval/Camberwell Price: £99 pw ——————————————————— I have a bright double room (11′ x 12′ 6″) in a beautiful 3 bedroom house beside Myatt’s Field Park (google SE5 9RD adjacent to SW9) very near A23 Brixton Rd and Camberwell New Road so the buses are: 3 36 59 133 159 185 415 436. Brixton Oval & Stockwell are all within walking distance. Lovely secluded garden and brand new kitchen going in this Sept. All mod cons including WiFi & Digital TV & International phone package (free calls to most countries). Sharing w/ 2 males-One Irish and one Spanish. It’s a fairly quiet house so would rather not have a party animal but very much looking for a sociable friendly sort like myself that I could share a cup of tea and a chat sometimes. Would rather a call than an email but will read emails too. This is a good value rent as it’s more important for me to get the right person than a higher rent. It’s £425 plus £100 p/month bills or if you like £525 p/m incl. Do call if interested and I’ll only be too glad to answer any queries. http://www.gumtree.com/london/92/43092992.html

From the Graduate School
December 9, 2008
The Graduate School is going to sponsor a postgraduate researcher to attend the residential conference, ‘Beyond the Campus.’
‘Beyond the Campus: An Interdisciplinary Examination of the Value of Research’ will be held between Wednesday January 28th and Friday January 30th. We have a first rate panel of speakers for the conference, drawn from many disciplines and each of considerable public reputation.
The aim of this conference is to allow an opportunity for doctoral students to discuss both the value of their own particular research (each student will be asked to give a short 20 minute presentation in small groups of their work to date) as well as to reflect, through plenary sessions, on where exactly that research might be taking them once completed.
Given that only 50% of such students move into academic careers thereafter, a conference in which there is opportunity to think about career “beyond the campus” seems to us to be especially timely.
If you are interested please contact Prof Vaughan Robinson, Director of the Graduate School (vaughan.robinson@kcl.ac.uk) sending some details about yourself.
The conference will take place in Windsor. You can find out more details by clicking here.
The Crucible Experience
December 9, 2008
Ever wondered what a space scientist and a biologist might have in common or how an artist could help a particle physicist? Crucible is your chance to stop wondering and discover what great minds, inspiring speakers and creative thinkers can do when they spend three weekends together.
Crucible 2009 offers early-career researchers in science, technology, engineering, maths and social sciences a unique opportunity to take risks and develop new collaborations across disciplines.

Producing Culture: A National Interdisciplinary Colloquium for Postgraduate Students
October 20, 2008
20-21 February 2009
Goldsmiths, University of London
Producing Culture is a student-led colloquium for postgraduates that will explore the ways in which culture is manifested through and defined by social practice.
This call for papers invites students from all fields to consider the mechanisms by which culture is produced and consumed. Papers should also seek to explore the dissemination of culture as pertinent to the
construction of social identity.
Organised by the Sociology of Theatre and Performance Research Group at Goldsmiths, University of London (led by Professor Maria Shevtsova), this event will provide an opportunity for postgraduates across the UK to engage with their peers across disciplines in a challenging and supportive environment. This is a unique
opportunity for postgraduates across the country to meet, network and exchange ideas in a truly interdisciplinary context.
We welcome submissions from postgraduate research students for individual papers or practice-based presentations that do not exceed 15 minutes. Please submit your name, department, university, conference paper title and 250-word abstract to stpr.group@gmail.com.
Deadline for applications is 1 December 2008.
