Statecraft, Sovereignty
& Digital Government

The conference will take place in the Professor Stuart Hall Building, Goldsmiths, University of London, New Cross, London SE14 6NW.

From the main campus entrance at the Richard Hoggart Building: enter and turn right, then left, walking to the back of the building past the café and Refectory. Exit onto the college green — the PSH Building is on the other side, up the hill.
