CFP: British Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies (UK) (9/30/05; 1/4/06-1/6/06)

35th ANNUAL CONFERENCE of THE BRITISH SOCIETY FOR EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY STUDIES

4-6 JANUARY 2006

ST. HUGH'S COLLEGE, OXFORD, U.K.

CALL FOR PAPERS

The conference will feature plenary addresses by Ludmilla Jordanova
(Cambridge), George Rousseau (Oxford) and David McCallam (Sheffield).

We invite proposals for individual papers and especially for full panels of
three (or, exceptionally, four papers) on any aspect of the long 18th
century, not only in Britain but throughout Europe and the wider world. Such
proposals might relate, inter alia, to architecture, art, curatorship,
history, international relations, literature, music, politics, science,
society, teaching practice and the eighteenth century outside Western Europe
and North America. Please submit a 200-word abstract of the proposed paper
or panel (including names of panel-speakers and summaries of panel papers),
via the BSECS website at http://www.bsecs.org.uk. Papers should be 20
minutes long and should be read in English or French. Presentations in other
languages are acceptable so long as transcripts, in English or French, are
available for the audience.

The deadline for submission of papers and panel proposals is 30 September
2005.

All enquiries regarding the academic programme of the conference should be
addressed to the Programme Co-Ordinator, Dr. Matthew Grenby
(academicOrganiser_at_bsecs.org.uk). You will be notified whether your proposal
has been accepted by 21 October 2005. In the case of scholars travelling
from outside the U.K. we shall endeavour to reach decisions earlier in order
to facilitate travel arrangements. The deadline for conference registration
will be 12 November 2005. To attend the conference without giving a paper,
request an application form direct from the Venue Organiser, Dr. Chris
Mounsey (cmouns_at_aol.com). You can also download the registration form and
find out more about BSECS from our website (http://www.bsecs.org.uk).

Five bursaries of £100 each will be available for graduate students whose
papers have been accepted and who are registered for a higher degree at a
U.K institution of higher education. In addition, accommodation costs and
the conference fee will be waived for up to five scholars whose papers have
been accepted and who are based in nations whose scholars cannot normally
afford to attend conferences in Western Europe. Applications for bursaries,
including a curriculum vitae and an indication of other sources of financial
support, should reach Dr. Matthew Grenby by 28 October 2005
(academicOrganiser_at_bsecs.org.uk).

St. Hugh's College is set in fourteen acres of self-contained grounds and is
surrounded by lawns, borders and mature trees, making it one of the
loveliest hidden delights of Oxford. The College is within ten minutes
walking distance of Oxford city centre.
