Please contact Martin Danyluk at martindanyluk [at] gmail [dot] com to submit a proposal or to join our mailing list. Please also feel free to suggest other themes or dates that might be worth commemorating with a workshop—we’re always eager to program events that coincide with pertinent anniversaries.
