MIGRATIONS
This version of the programme was updated on 16 April 2006.
Please note that on the first afternoon the timings for People and Wilderness in Canada (Environment I and II) are different from the timings for Sessions A and B, as they form a separate strand in which the team from the University of Leeds will present research arising from their Sustained Studies Project.
