ANGLES 2: ANOTHER INTERDISCIPLINARY POSTGRADUATE CONFERENCE ON
CULTURAL HISTORY
Birkbeck, University of London
Saturday 19 June 2010
CALL FOR PAPERS - PLEASE DISTRIBUTE WIDELY
Following the success of the first Angles conference in 2009, we are returning
in 2010 with another one-day event and the launch of an online network for
research students working in the field of cultural history.
The aim of the conference is to bring together a range of postgraduate
perspectives on cultural history from across the disciplinary spectrum. The
focus will be on unusual topics or unconventional approaches to otherwise
familiar topics. For instance, papers might deal with cultural practices that
have been neglected by traditional history, or engage with emerging fields,
trends or themes that may have been overlooked by existing scholarship. We
would especially welcome papers that reflect on the challenges of dealing with
discipline-specific responses to the way in which you approach your topic, or
the particular advantages or limitations of taking on an unusual topic.
We invite all interested contributors to submit proposals for 20 minute papers.
Please send a 200 word abstract, including your name, designation,
institutional affiliation and thesis title (if applicable) to
[log in to unmask] no later than Saturday 17 April 2010.
Thanks to funding from the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC), we
are able to offer six travel bursaries of up to £50 each to enable research
students from outside London to attend the conference. We will be receiving
applications for the bursaries when registration for the conference opens in
May.
The online network will launch in late April 2010.
