* Note: The safety and wellbeing of participants is paramount to the Colloquium committee. We acknowledge the ever-changing COVID-19 situation has created uncertainty, also in terms of future travel, both interstate and overseas. At this stage the event is planned to take place with a mix of online and in-person participation in a COVID-safe environment and subject to the COVID-19 caveat with regard to government and university restrictions in place at the time, however, if circumstances restrict this we will convert to an online event entirely. Should this occur CEPAR will provide as much notice as possible.
