The international conference,  Identity, Memory, Place –  Past, Present and Future, which took place at Reid Hall on 15 & 16 May was attended by over 100 delegates.  Amélie Nothomb was given a resounding reception, and gave a  private interview with University of Kent students ahead of the main interview.  The conference was also attended by Laureline Amanieux who was there to speak about her new documentary:   ‘Amélie Nothomb, une vie entre deux eaux’ which was also screened at the conference. Amélie is pictured here with Dr Ana de Medeiros, Academic Director for Paris programmes and some of our Paris MA students.
