CFP: Nineteenth Century Research Seminars – Submissions Deadline Sunday 1 December 2018

Nineteenth Century Research Seminars
Call for Papers – Spring 2019

The Nineteenth Century Research Seminars (NCRS) invites proposals for twenty-minute papers from postgraduate and early career researchers that address any aspect of nineteenth-century literature, history, art, and culture.

The seminar series is designed to be a cross- and inter-disciplinary forum where
postgraduate and early career researchers can meet, form connections, debate, and
collaborate on all issues pertaining to the long nineteenth century.

We accept abstracts addressing any aspect of research on the 19th century, but would
particularly welcome those addressing any of the following themes:
● Philosophy from Hegel to Nietzsche
● Empire, War, and Politics
● Religion and Society
● Ecology, Environment, and Industrialisation
● Travelling and Exploration
● Gender and Sexuality
● German Classicism and German Idealism
● Art, Architecture, and Aesthetics

Monthly seminars take place at the University of Edinburgh, on the first Thursday of the
month: 7 February, 7 March, 4 April, 2 May, and 6 June 2019 at 16:30-18:30. Each seminar will consist of 2-3 twenty-minute papers, with at least one paper from a University of Edinburgh-based researcher and the other(s) from a researcher based in another institution, followed by discussion and refreshments.

Abstracts of up to 250 words along with a brief biography and institutional affiliation should be submitted in the body of an email to edinburgh19thcentury@gmail.com . The closing date for submissions is Sunday 1 December 2018 ; speakers will be notified of a decision by mid-December. If for any reason you are not available for any of the dates listed above for the 2019 seminars, please let us know in your email submission; this will help us to pair papers and schedule more effectively.

For those travelling from outside of Edinburgh, reimbursement of travel expenses (up to
£40) is available.
