Hello,
We would like to draw your attention to Angles 3, another
interdisciplinary postgraduate conference on cultural history.
Angles 3 is a free conference taking place on Saturday 28 May 2011 at
Birkbeck, University of London as part of Birkbeck Arts Week.
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.
Registration is free. To register, please visit http://www.bbk.ac.uk/angles/
We hope to see you there.
