Keynote SpeakersWe invited the same keynote speakers as last year, and are pleased to announce that Darrel Moellendorf, Simon Caney, and Clare Palmer (public lecture) have confirmed. We also re-invited Sunita Narain, but unfortunately she is unable to join us. We hope you understand that we decided not to add another keynote speaker since we are all overwhelmed with work due to the pandemic circumstances. |
