Conference
10.30 - 4.00 Speakers: Cora Kaplan, Queen Mary, University of London Peter McDonald, University of Oxford Jonathan Sawday, University of Strathclyde Gauri Viswanathan, Columbia University Greg Walker, University of Leicester
As the English Association celebrates its centenary this is a good moment to take stock of the present state of English studies in Higher Education and to consider the future. Over the past century the English Association and English studies, like the English language itself, have had an impact in countries and communities outside England, and something of that geographical variety is represented by our speakers.
'English' and English Literature have also developed many different methodologies and engaged with a variety of concerns and other disciplines:
In the midst of this variousness, does 'English' still have a coherent identity and an imaginable future in the academy, or will it transform itself into a range of separate disciplines and activities? Has 'English' been helped or harmed by recent developments and pressures within Higher Education?
Cost for the day (includes lunch and refreshments) £60 (members) £75 (non-members) £40 (students - limited places available) Reserve a place by emailing the conference administrator
