Directions
This workshop will be held in lecture theatre G33 in the Humantities Bridgeford Street Building, which is number 35 on the University of Manchester campus map [opens in new window].
If you are heading from the city centre down Oxford Road, watch out for a pedestrian bridge over the road with 'University of Manchester' on it. Just past the bridge, you will see a big building on the left that looks like a giant tin drum. Bridgeford Street is on the opposite side of the road to this building, and behind the Arthur Lewis Building.
