We hope to see as many of you as possible at this broad and inclusive event

spaces, be they domestic, urban, rural, civic, or discursive, between the
early modern period and the mid-twentieth century. A number of reduced
price student places have been facilitated through the generosity of our
funders.
Enquiries and requests for plain text versions of the programme and/or
booking form should be directed to [log in to unmask]
