The technological issues have been fixed, therefore all panels scheduled to be in the Eliot Room will remain there. Thanks again for understanding #BAASPGR19

[BAAS Postgraduate Conference 2019 @baaspgr2019]

Due to technological issues, all papers scheduled to be in the Eliot Room will now be in the Dickens Room next door.

Session 4 will now run 11-12:30. Lunch will be 12:30-13:15. We will then continue as scheduled.

Thank you for your understanding
