AULC Conference and Annual General Meeting

The University of Leeds

Thursday 17th and Friday 18th January 2008

The conference/AGM was attended by about 70 delegates, representing 37 universities and 5 other organisations. Here you will find details of the programme and participant list as well as some of the handouts. Some of the presentations were filmed and you can view them as streamed video (WMV). The camera was not controlled all the time nor was a lapel mike used, so the end results are imperfect. Unfortunately, Peter Llewellyn-Jones' talk on BSL did not get recorded.
