Hello,
We would like to draw your attention to Angles, an interdisciplinary
postgraduate conference on cultural history.
Angles is a free conference taking place on Saturday 20 June 2009 at
Birkbeck, University of London. The programme is outlined below.
The conference will focus on unusual topics and unconventional approaches to
otherwise familiar topics. Papers deal with cultural practices that have
been neglected by traditional history and engage with fields, trends and
themes that have been overlooked by existing scholarship.

Thank you,
