CfP: British Studies in a Broken World

Modern British Studies at Birmingham invites proposals for panels showcasing new research on all aspects of British history from the 18th century to the present. At a moment when many of the core strands of modern society, culture, politics, and economics have been called into question, it is time to explore how we make sense of Britain’s past and the value of thinking historically in public life.

We will host our Second Conference 5-7 July 2017

CfP: Scottish Political Poetry and Song, 1832-1918

In 2018, Scottish Literary Review will publish a special issue in relation to the Carnegie-funded project ‘The People’s Voice: Scottish Political Poetry, Song and the Franchise, 1832-1918’, guest-edited by Catriona MacDonald, Kirstie Blair and Michael Shaw. The special issue aims to widen the remit of this project beyond its primary focus on Reform and franchise verse, and to reflect more broadly on the connections between politics and poetry and song cultures, within Scotland and potentially beyond, in this period.

CfP: Carnival in Modern Europe, 1700-2000

We wish to invite proposals for papers on a proposed panel ‘Carnival in Modern Europe, 1700-2000’ that we intend to submit to the organisers of the European Social Science History Conference (ESSHC) in Belfast, 4-7 April 2018. We aim to explore and interpret the transformation of carnival in the modernperiod and its varied function in different societies, and are particularly interested in issues of class and gender. Closing date for proposals: 31 March2017.
