We are excited to announce that on Monday 9th December, King’s College London is kindly hosting the Brian Street Memorial Lecture and Conference in honour of our late President. This is a FREE all-day conference (10am-4.15pm), and our special guest speaker Professor David Bloome(link is external) of Ohio State University will speak on ‘Adaptation and Imagination in Literacy’. The programme will include cameo presentations by current PhD students, plus ample opportunity for discussion and sharing. It will end with calls for action in the context of the SDGs and literacy.

Please book your place now on our Eventbrite(link is external) site, where you will find further information, and please do share the attached flyer with friends and colleagues alike.

Our BALID AGM will take place at 4.15pm on the same day, and we are actively looking for new committee members. Please join us and share your enthusiasm and expertise to help shape our future direction. If you’d like to discuss your interest, email comms@balid.org.uk(link sends e-mail).

The AGM will be followed at 5pm by a reception kindly hosted by King’s College, London. All are welcome.

With best wishes,

Mary
