The MMU PGR ECR Long Nineteenth Century Symposium
16 June 2022, 4pm BST
Our online symposium will feature three cross disciplinary panels, consisting of 3-4 fifteen minute presentations, followed by a Q&A session.
The PGR/ECR Long Nineteenth Century Interdisciplinary Research Group is organised by volunteer PGRs and ECRs at Manchester Metropolitan University. It aims to foster inter-institutional and multi-faculty networking and offers platforms for its community to share the latest research on topics that have a focus in the long nineteenth century. Following the success of last year’s June symposium and the subsequent Seminar Series, the PGR/ECR Long Nineteenth Century organising committee are currently planning the 2022 annual event. In order to foster collaboration across the post-graduate community within the field of the long nineteenth century, this event seeks to explore some of the cross-thematic research priorities at the centre of doctoral studies. Each of these three panels offer opportunities to present and discuss cutting-edge approaches and findings to key topics of concern during a period of immense change that continues to inspire reflection.
We invite presentations from any discipline that concerns the long nineteenth century within these three general themes:
- Long Nineteenth-Century Ecologies and Environment
- Global and Trans-National Cultural Exchange in the Long Nineteenth Century
- Reinterpreting the Long Nineteenth Century: Re-visiting the Past and NeoVictorianism in the Present (Literature/Visual Cultures, etc.)
We welcome presenters of all backgrounds. The conference will take the format of 15 minute papers, and each panel will contain a Q&A session with time for lots of discussion. Please send abstracts of no more than 250 words, as well as a short biography, to long19cmmu@gmail.com indicating the panel preference in the subject line, by Monday 25 April.
Speakers will be contacted by 15 May 2022. Please feel free to contact us with any further enquiries by email, or through our Twitter page: @l19thc
