Easter Conference: ‘The Vikings in the North-West’: details to be announced.
There will not be a MANCASS postgraduate conference in 2013, but we hope to resume in 2014.
Hello, I was wondering if I would be able to attend the conferences? I'm 16, I don't know if that would be a problem!

Hi Bethany,
ReplyDeleteThe MANCASS talks are open to anyone, so you'd be welcome to come along. The last one of this academic year is this Thursday. For information about the Easter conference, it would be better to contact the organizers directly (when the information is released). You might find that the papers are aimed more at people who have completed university degrees (and postgraduate degrees) and so they aren't the sort of thing you'd like to attend.
We'll post more information once we have it.
