workshop 2

Bronislaw Szerszynski (Sociology, Lancaster University) began by thanking once again all the people involved in the organization and running of the workshop. He outlined the programme of the event and the accompanying performances. Szerszynski then invited Charlie Gere (Department of Media, Film & Cultural Studies, Lancaster University) to introduce the main themes of the workshop.

Michael Krätke (Director, IAS, Lancaster University) in his opening note welcomed everyone to the second workshop of the Experimentality programme - Experiment as Event in the Arts and Sciences – and emphasized the importance of the exploration of its themes in the context of interdisciplinary research.
