'English Unbound: Exploring Disciplinarity'
A collaborative graduate conference on the future of English Studies.
November 5th/6th 2004, English Faculty Building, Cambridge University.
As increasing numbers of scholars move towards "interdisciplinary" or
"transdisciplinary" work, what is the future for "disciplinarity"? What
does it mean to do literary research today and why do we do it? What are
the boundaries of English as a discipline and how useful are they? What is
the role of academic literary research in the wider intellectual community?
The English faculties of Cambridge University, Anglia Polytechnic
University and Queen Mary, University of London are organising a two-day
graduate conference that aims to consider the current state of the
discipline and its future prospects. The conference will provide a relaxed
and interactive forum in which graduate students can probe these questions
with graduates from other institutions, with faculty members from the three
host universities, and with recent former Ph.D. students who will be acting
as guest facilitators. The conference will combine panels of students'
papers with round-table discussions and workshop sessions.
