Traces An Archive of the Sawyer Seminar Series
This archive includes some pictures, audio files and textual materials from the seminars and the conference that made up the Sawyer Seminar Series 2010-2012. It runs from most recent event, back in time, and links lead to documentation where it exists. At the top of the page is a short film about the conference, capturing just some of the great enthusiasm and energy that people brought to the event. Just below it is a copy of the programme, which contains abstracts for all work presented.
At the foot of the page is an embedded audio player which contains all of the audio recordings we have of events in the series. You can either access them via the player, or click on the links to particular seminars or conference elements in the list of events below. In addition to recordings and pictures, for each of the seminars there is a word cloud that illustrate just some of the things talked about during the day. The Seminars and Public Events pages of this website provide introductions to people and their talks, and often links to their own websites and work.
