Annual Meeting 2021 - Manchester, UK: Overview

The 65th annual meeting of the Palaeontological Association, organized by the University of Manchester will take place from 18th to 20th December 2021. Originally organised as an in-person meeting, on the 11th of December 2021 we made the difficult decision to switch the conference to a virtual meeting only. The PalAss council had been monitoring the emerging situation regarding the Omicron variant closely over the preceeding two weeks, and decided that this was the best course of action.

Workshop

The workshop will run before the meeting as a virtual event on Friday 17th December: “Social Justice in Palaeontology: Case Studies & Future Actions” will be coordinated by Emma Dunne and Nussaïbah B. Raja. This virtual “workshop” will focus on a diverse range of topics relating to current ethical and legal issues in the field of palaeontology. Participants will be able to get involved in one of two ways: (1) by listening in to a series of talks and Q&A session on 17th December (14:00 UTC) or (2) by signing up to join a focus group (max. 30 participants).
