Further Information

Papers from postgraduate and early career scholars were welcomed and reduced conference rates were available. We welcome scholars from a range of disciplines, including history, literature, art history, archaeology and drama. The conference is also supported by a small travel fund, the Kate Westoby Fund. Students and unwaged scholars are invited to apply to the fund up to one month after they have attended the conference. The fund can only pay UK travel expenses. Available funds are limited and divided between all applicants and it is often not possible to pay claims in full. Because of prohibitive bank charges on international payments, claims can only be paid into UK bank accounts. For further inquiries about the fund please contact the treasurer Dr Isabel Davis

All queries should be directed to Diane Heath at diane.heath@canterbury.ac.uk. Further details are available on the conference website.
