CALL FOR PAPERS
New Work in Modernist Studies
Saturday 5 December 2015, 10am-5.30pm,
University of Exeter, Streatham Campus, Queen’s Building

The fifth one-day Graduate Conference on New Work in Modernist Studies 
will take place at the University of Exeter (Streatham campus), in 
conjunction with the Welsh Network of Modernist Studies, the London 
Modernism Seminar, the Scottish Network of Modernist Studies, the 
Northern Modernism Seminar, and the British Association for Modernist 
Studies (BAMS).

As in previous years, this conference will take the form of an 
interdisciplinary programme reflecting the full diversity of current 
graduate work in modernist studies; it encourages contributions both 
from those already involved in the existing networks and from students 
new to modernist students who are eager to share their work. The day 
will close with a plenary lecture by Professor Simon Shaw-Miller, Chair 
in the History of Art, University of Bristol, and author of 'Eye hEar: 
The Visual in Music' (Ashgate 2013), 'Visible Deeds in Music: Art and 
Music from Wagner to Cage' (Yale, 2002, second ed. 2004) and numerous 
essays and articles on art and music in the modern period, including 
‘Modernist Music’ in the 'Oxford Handbook of Modernisms' (Oxford, 2010).

Proposals are invited, from PhD research students registered at British 
universities, for short (10 minutes maximum) research position papers. 
Your proposal should be no longer than 250 words, and please include 
with it a short (50 words) biography. It should be emailed to

should also be addressed.

Deadline:  5pm Weds 28 October 2015. Acceptance decisions will be 
communicated within one week.
