Cambridge International Chronicles Symposium [CICS]11th-13th July 2008
University of Cambridge

Chronicles are a fertile area of academic research focusing on a
genre of historical literature written mainly in a time before
departments of English and History had yet come into existence. The
Cambridge International Chronicle Symposium is an interdisciplinary
conference organized to promote research and to strengthen the
network of chronicle studies worldwide. The aim of the Cambridge ICS
is to allow scholars from various departments of learning and
critical approaches to meet, present new research, demonstrate new
critical approaches and discuss prospects for ongoing, collective
research between scholars and academic institutions.
The symposium will take place over two and a half days beginning on
the afternoon of July 11 2008 at the English Faculty Building, 9 West
Road, Cambridge ( map). The structure of the following days takes the
form of open sessions organized according to period and theme. Papers
read at the conference will be strictly limited to twenty minutes in
length and sessions will be chaired by academics in the field.
