PALA Nottingham 2021 Programme
Tuesday 06 July 2021
Pre-Conference Social Events
18.00 – 19.30: Postgraduate Social
The evening before the conference, we will host a social event exclusively for postgraduate researchers and those who are new to PALA. There will be a quiz of four rounds ranging from general trivia and puzzles to your knowledge of ‘Language and Literature’. This is a great opportunity to get to know other participants new to PALA in an informal context. We hope many of you can join us this evening.
Welcome to the Digital PALA Pub
We will also be opening the Digital PALA Pub on Tuesday night at 20.00 ahead of the Opening Ceremony on Wednesday. (Note that all timings in this Programme are Nottingham time: BST in the UK).
The PALA pub will remain open for the duration of the conference; feel free to pop in and pull up a virtual table whenever you fancy! You can meet in the pub to discuss papers that you have just attended as well.
