Dear all,
You are all warmly invited to join us for the upcoming 11th International IBC Postgraduate conference in Austrian Literature, Culture and Film, next Wednesday, at the Institute of Modern Languages Research. This year, two exciting keynotes by Dr Carolin Duttlinger (Oxford) and Dr Charles Hammond (University of Tennessee), both with a focus on Franz Kafka, will be complemented by selected contributions from Postgraduate from the UK and the US, and we may again look forward to an engaging debate!
Places are still available, attendance is free. If you are interested in attending the evening programme, please register with the Austrian Cultural Forum at [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> . A programme is attached to this email.
