THE CELTIC CONFERENCE IN CLASSICS:
Lampeter, 30th August - 2nd September 2006.
The Celtic Conference in Classics will be held this year at, and in
collaboration with, the University of Wales, Lampeter, from 30th August
(Wednesday afternoon) to 2nd September (Saturday midday). All are welcome.
The Celtic Conference, which is residential, meets biennially. This is the
fourth in the series, the first three having met at Maynooth, Glasgow and
Rennes. The Conference consists of panels which aim to generate sustained
discussion in a sociable spirit, with a view usually to joint
publication.
The Conference particularly values the positive engagement between
francophone and anglophone scholars. Publications arising from past
Conferences have appeared in French and English, both of which languages
may be used in the giving of papers.
A reservation form, with administrative details, is given below. Small
bursaries may be available to facilitate attendance by graduate students.
