a variety of disciplinary and global perspectives as it is practiced and 
experienced by a diverse array of publics. Plenary speakers include 
science consultant Kevin Grazier (Gravity; Battlestar Galactica; 
Defiance) and television creator/producer Stephen Gallagher (Eleventh 
Hour; The Forgotten; Silent Witness). The full programme can be found
