postgrads going great things at Queen's - do join them for this: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PG Conference - Queen's Uni Belfast Evolving Fields: sensoriality, imagination and memory in the humanities Tuesday 6th and Wednesday 7th June 2017 Call for papers We are pleased to announce the next PG conference ‘Evolving Fields: sensoriality, imagination and memory in the humanities’, which is aimed at postgraduate students, current PhD candidates and academic staff from different disciplines in the humanities. The conference will provide a great chance to present and discuss their latest work in a welcoming and supportive environment. We welcome proposals for presentations of research from all disciplines within the arts and humanities. We are particularly looking forward to proposals for performances. The conference will assess how sensorial perception, imagination, and memory enrich our disciplines. Attentive to the direction research in the humanities is taking, the conference will try and assess how recent trending themes have inspired young researchers. The conference will also offer the chance to further enhance post graduate research skills, providing keynote workshops. The programme for the workshops will be released soon. We would like to invite papers for presentations and performances of any nature related to the themes. We are interested in your proposal if your research is related to or addresses the following questions: · How have sensorial experiences, both yours and those of your participants, shaped your research? How does the sensorial realm contribute in your field of studies? · What is the role of imagination in current research in your academic discipline? How can imagination drive human experience? · How has memory informed your research as a tool and/or as an object of study? How much is memory when carrying out research in the humanities? · Have you adopted an unconventional research method? How has this contributed to your research findings? The conference is organised with the support of the School of History, Anthropology, Politics and Philosophy and the Graduate School.
