Hello,
We would like to remind you that Angles 3, an interdisciplinary
postgraduate conference on cultural history, is taking place on
Saturday 28 May at Birkbeck, University of London as part of Birkbeck
Arts Week. Registration for the conference is free.
The aim of the conference is to bring together a range of postgraduate
perspectives on cultural history from across the disciplinary
spectrum. The focus is on unusual topics and unconventional approaches
to otherwise familiar topics. Papers deal with cultural practices that
have been neglected by traditional history, and engage with fields,
trends, and themes that have been overlooked by existing scholarship.
Please find the programme below.
To register, please visit http://www.bbk.ac.uk/angles/
We hope to see you there.
