Dear Colleagues,
On 5 May 2018 Oxford Centre for Life Writing is pleased to be hosting this 1-day colloquium, which will bring together writers and scholars from across the humanities and the social sciences to explore the creative, critical, and methodological practices involved in the writing of everyday lives.
Proposals are invited for 20 minute papers or 60 minute workshops. The closing date for submissions is **Friday 15 December 2017**
