[csaa-forum] Unrequited Justice colloquium, Macquarie University, 30th November

[Nadine Ehlers]

Hi Deborah,

I'm really hoping that I haven;t really stuffed up here.  I desperately want
to attend the Unrequited Justice colloquium and forgot to RSVP.  I'm in the
department and promise to not take up too much space.
Please tell me it's not too late and that I can come.

Regards,

Nadine Ehlers
