CALL FOR PAPERS
Science and Spiritualism, 1750-1930
The Leeds Centre for Victorian Studies is pleased to announce a two-day conference, to take place at Leeds Trinity University on 30 and 31 May 2019. We are delighted to have Professor Christine Ferguson (University of Stirling), and Professor Roger Luckhurst (Birkbeck, University of London) as our keynote speakers.
Description:
Since the emergence of modern mediumship in the middle of the nineteenth century, science and spiritualism have been interwoven. Sceptics and believers alike have investigated spirit and psychic phenomena to determine its legitimacy. This two-day interdisciplinary
conference will explore the history of the intersection of science and spiritualism during the long nineteenth century.

We welcome proposals from any discipline, covering any geographic region between 1750-1930.
