    <h2>About Inter/sections</h2>
    <div class='large-12 columns'>
      <p class='header-line'>Inter/sections is an annual series of events programmed by the students of Queen Mary University of London’s Media and Arts Technology (MAT) doctoral training centre.</p>

      <p>MAT students founded Inter/sections in 2016 as a forum to examine the disjoints in methods, philosophies and practices that they grapple with as interdisciplinary researchers reconciling computer science with other fields. In its inaugural year, Inter/sections probed the theme of Symbiosis with talks on how an understanding of art history, participatory design and speculative design can contribute to better technology. </p>
