The study of reading, readers and reader communities is at the forefront of much contemporary scholarly activity in the humanities. Initiatives such as the Reading Experience Database are collecting and disseminating information on readers and reading practices. This conference offers a forum for the assessment of work in this field to date and a platform from which further initiatives can be launched.
Invited speakers include: Professor Janice Radway, Duke University (who will be giving the annual Macmillan Lecture in the Sociology of the Text on 24 September); Simon Eliot, Open University; Lindsay Fraser, Booktrust Scotland, and Jonathan Rose, Drew University.
Proposals for papers of 20-25 minutes duration are invited on any topic pertinent to the theme of the conference.
Deadline for receipt of proposals: 26 April 1999.
A full programme for the conference will be published in June 1999.
