----Locating the Victorians
A major international conference commemorating 150 years since the Great Exhibition and the centenary of Queen Victoria's death.
South Kensington, London, UK 12-15 July 2001
Hosted by the Science Museum, London.
CALL FOR EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST
The conference is being structured so as to be interdisciplinary, broadly-based and summative. It is intended to foster communication between students of all branches of Victorian history, culture and literature.
During 1999 we intend to consult extensively so as to construct a meeting with the widest possible appeal and the greateest possible benefits for the future. Currently the planning committee is thinking of 10-15 themes, each of which will incorporate 4-6 sessions perhaps made up of 3 papers or alternatively of discussion panels. We now seek proposals from anyone who would like to be a theme organiser. Please give a brief description of your concept of the theme, possible panel headings and indicative lists of people you would invite to speak. On the basis of these proposals the selected organisers will then be asked to invite speakers formally. We encourage partnerships of 2 organisers for each theme.
Please submit ideas by 1 October 1999, and alert us asap by emailing j.davies@nmsi.ac.uk, using the subject name 'Victorian themes' and indicating the likely theme and your name.
Even if you do not want to organise a session but would like to attend, please tell us what you would like to experience at the meeting or get out of the occasion. Please email j.davies@nmsi.ac.uk using the subject 'Victorian conference' with your suggestions. While we cannot promise to satisfy everyone, we shall try to use the time available to organise a truly memorable conference.
