Presentations are very informal and should last for no longer than 10 minutes. You are very welcome to bring an image/text, introduce it in a couple of minutes highlighting the challenges that it is posing to your own research, and then ask questions to the group.
Collaborative research is central to the Maius Workshop’s ethos, and we aim to encourage dialogue rather than showcase fully-resolved material. The Maius Workshop is an interdisciplinary group that brings together graduate students, early career scholars and established researchers dealing with Iberian and Latin American cultural(s).
