NEW TO TEACHING HISTORY 2024
26-27 June 2024, 1-4pm on both days, MS Teams
Participants in this interactive online workshop, sponsored by the Royal Historical Society and History UK, will develop their understanding of key issues relating to teaching History in higher education, from innovations in teaching and learning and curriculum design to teaching seminar groups and giving lectures. It will take place online, using Microsoft Teams.
The event is aimed both at those new to teaching History in higher education (i.e., about to begin or recently started), as well as those who may have experience with some elements of teaching but wish to develop their thoughts on other aspects (e.g., designing a module). Engaging in conversations with colleagues and critically reflecting on teaching practice is beneficial not only for individual teaching and career development, but also as part of applications and teaching recognition – for instance, for AdvanceHE Fellowships. We welcome applicants from beyond the UK, although elements of the event will be tailored specifically to UK HE contexts.

CALL FOR REVIEWERS: REVIEWS IN HISTORY
The Institute of Historical Research’s Reviews in History publishes reviews and reappraisals of significant work in all fields of historical interest.
Since its founding in 1921, the Institute of Historical Research (IHR) at the University of London has seen students and teachers come together, socially and intellectually, to engage in lively academic seminars. But for what purpose and with what value?
Talking History provides a defence of the seminar as a central element in historians’ teaching, research and sense of community. Covering a range of the IHR’s long-running seminar series, the book presents the seminars as a local, national and international hub for scholarship that emerges from and is sustained by the ongoing learning practices of historians as scholars and people. It bears witness to a seminar culture of evolving, multifarious synergies between teaching, researching and learning, historiography and participation – intertextual, interpersonal, intergenerational and intercultural. Viewed as such, the seminars constitute a living tradition, stimulating and incorporating dynamic change over time to contribute not just to the development of historiography but to intellectual life more generally, often in conversation with major political events and cultural phenomena.
This original and significant book delivers fresh insight into the evolution of historical research and its role in wider society today.
Reviews are typically 2000-3000 words in length; the editors are, however, also open to featuring a number of shorter responses to this collection.
CALL FOR PAPERS: CLERICAL LIVES IN BRITAIN, C.1600-1800 CONFERENCE
The University of Manchester, 17 September 2024
Keynote speakers: Professor Jacqueline Eales (Canterbury Christ Church University) and Professor Jon Stobart (Manchester Metropolitan University)
The Protestant clergy had a ubiquitous presence in early modern Britain and played a significant role in shaping its religious, cultural, social, and political landscape. We now know a considerable amount about the social background, education, recruitment, training, professionalisation, and responsibilities of the post-Reformation clergy. In recent years, the social lives of the early modern Protestant clergy have come into sharper focus with historians seeking to better understand this demographically diverse social cohort beyond the focus of ecclesiastical history.
This conference, held at the University of Manchester on 17 September 2024, joins this renewed historiographical focus on the clergy’s social lives and aims to broaden our purview of clerical experiences in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Whereas a wealth of research has examined the clergy and its changing social functions and roles during the tumult of Reformations on the British Isles, this conference seeks to investigate clerical experience and behaviours in the later part of the early modern period.
This conference therefore asks the following questions: how can we define the clergyman in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Britain? While scholars have explored in great detail their public lives as political agents and figureheads of the Protestant Church in Britain (broadly defined), what can we discover about their private lives away from the pulpits and the press? And how were these myriad lives represented in manuscript, print, and visual culture? We are particularly keen to receive proposals which focus on a greater range of historical actors in discussions of the clergy. We would also be interested in proposals from scholars who approach the clergy from a range of methodological and disciplinary approaches.
We invite papers on topics including, but not limited to, the following:
Clerical autobiography and life-writing
Biographies of clergymen
Clerical wives, families, and dynasties
Clergymen’s domestic lives
Clergymen’s social lives
Clergymen’s political lives
Clergymen’s emotional lives
Clergymen’s material lives
Clergymen’s gendered lives
Clergymen’s recreational lives
Clergymen’s scientific lives
Clergymen’s cultural and artistic lives
Clergymen’s musical lives
Clergymen’s literary lives
Clergymen’s mobile lives
Clergymen’s precarious lives
Marginalised voices, e.g. curates and unbeneficed priests
Comparative lives, e.g. clergymen in Europe and America
Clergymen’s misdemeanours, e.g. intoxication
Digital histories of the clergy, e.g. the Clergy of the Church of England database
We welcome contributions from independent scholars, ECRs, and PhD students. Please send a 250-word abstract for papers of no more than 20 minutes and a short biography (max. 100 words) to Hannah Yip and Ben Jackson via clericallives@gmail.com no later than 1 June 2024.
Alternatively, we would also welcome proposals for ‘lightning talks’ (10 minutes) to be incorporated into roundtable discussions. Please indicate your preferred format within your proposal.
NB. This conference will be held in person. Please get in touch if you need any particular arrangements to be made, or support provided, if you are interested in attending.

CALL FOR APPLICATIONS: FONDAZIONE GIORGIO CINI, VENICE FELLOWSHIPS
The Fondazione Giorgio Cini, Venice has issued a new call for applications addressed to PhDs and postdocs aged 40 and under, for two-month residential fellowships dedicated to interdisciplinary research projects relevant to materials held in the archives of the Fondazione and Venice.
The deadline for online applications is June 30, 2024.
The Fondazione Giorgio Cini’s antique books collection was begun at the time of the creation of the Foundation thanks to the donation by founder Vittorio Cini of a collection of 15th- and 16th-century volumes previously kept in his residence of Monselice Castle. Exceptionally interesting because of its rare illustrated editions and many items unique worldwide, the antique books holding is the sum of the collections of Victor Masséna, Prince of Essling, the bibliophile Tammaro De Marinis and Vittorio Cini himself. Over time the collection has gradually been increased through further donations from illustrious scholars, such as Antonio Muñoz and Alessandro Dudan, and the significant recent bequest made by another generous private collector, the Milanese lawyer Cesare Grassetti. The over 3,000 items in the collection of incunables and cinquecentine include many beautifully crafted books meant for a cultural elite, or commissioned in religious milieus.
But there are also numerous works for a more popular readership often supplemented with pictures to make up for shortcomings in literacy of the less educated classes. This makes the Fondazione Giorgio Cini’s antique books holding one of the most important collections of Renaissance illustrated books in the world. In addition to the usual research tools, in the Nuova Manica Lunga scholars can consult the valuable specialist library once owned by Tammaro De Marinis, which provides easy access to indices, essays and catalogues of fundamental importance in the study of antique books.
Here follow some research guidelines:
Ancient book collections in the 20th century
Illustration and mise en page of Venetian 15th and 16th century books
17th century printed books held in the Fondazione Giorgio Cini
Personal libraries (Munoz, Dudan, Salvadori); illustrated books
Book illustration
Exchanges, relations and collaborations among typographers in 15th and 16th century-Venice
Modern antiques: the book trade through sales catalogues
CALL FOR FABLES
Do you know any fable which speaks to a contemporary issue? We’d love to hear from you.
The AHRC networking project ‘Rethinking Fables in the Age of Environmental Crisis’ invites you to suggest a fable which speaks to environmental issues and the other global challenges confronting us. Please write to me, Kaori Nagai, at K.Nagai@kent.ac.uk with your suggestion; tell me your selected fable, along with a short explanation of why you have chosen it and how it resonates with a contemporary issue you feel strongly about. The fable can be from any cultural or linguistic background. You are most welcome to retell or make changes to your chosen fable, to make it more fitting to the issue you’d like to address. You can invent a new fable too, inspired one you know or any issues you are interested in exploring.
If you are unsure whether your chosen story counts as a fable, or if you have any other questions, please don’t hesitate to let me know at the above e-mail address.
About us: Launched in June 2023, we are a network of people interested in fables, nonhumans, and multispecies storytelling. We are committed to engaging with fables innovatively, and to exploring our relations to nonhumans and to each other in this rapidly changing world. We are particularly passionate about the fable as a literary form with a unique focus on nonhuman characters. While traditionally told to impart wisdom to humans, fables carve out a space dedicated to nonhuman beings. They are to be taken seriously if we are to rethink our relationship with nonhuman worlds. Fables are also used to satirise politics and power dynamics, portraying humans as animals. What better way is there to explore the vulnerability we share with nonhumans in the face of global political and environmental crises? Fables are also a perfect medium to explore our relationship with digital and virtual technologies, including AIs as new talking nonhumans.
Most importantly, the fable has a long global history. Because they follow human movements, similar fables recur in many places, and they continue to forge historical and cultural connections. To tell a fable is also to have a conversation with future generations who will undoubtedly be telling and retelling the same fables, and we hope to be able to pass on a better human and nonhuman world to them just as we pass on our fable tradition. We’d be delighted if you could join our conversations, and we look forward to hearing from you.
TRAINING: HOW TO CREATE YOUR OWN ACADEMIC PODCAST
A half-day, online course from digital communications expert Andy Tattersall that will teach you how to create, publish and promote your own academic podcast.
Poetry has been an integral part of the Gothic mode since its inception. However, the connection between poetry and the Gothic seems a less explored area of critical inquiry, in comparison to fiction. While the Graveyard Poets and other Anglophone poetry movements are already considered foundational to the Gothic mode, our edited collection seeks to broaden the scope of what can be conceived of as “Gothic poetry” or poetry inspired by the Gothic.
Despite geographic differences and historical contexts, the reflexive and productive capacities of the Gothic in poetry, and of poetry itself, bring poetic works in affinity. Tragic histories are simultaneously past and present: past in the sense that events haunt us and remind us of our violent encounters but also present in the haunting as a continuation of these disaster consequences into the present. Expressing this Gothic sensibility, the poet speaks from a liminal stance. Thus poetry, perhaps, fits perfectly into the conception of a Global Gothic.
We welcome papers that take a flexible view of the Gothic, locating it in various cultural contexts and languages from the long 18th century to the 21st century. We also welcome those who take a more historicist view of the Gothic to submit their work. What constitutes a Gothic poet? How do we conceptualize Gothic poetry differently from other genres? We invite essays that rethink the connection between poetry and the Gothic. Investigations of Gothic poetry and its connection to other genres and media are also welcome.
We invite 300 word abstracts on topics related to the Gothic and poetry, broadly considered, for an edited collection to be submitted to an academic publisher. With your abstract, please include a brief 100 word bio. If accepted, you will be asked to submit a chapter of about 6000 to 7000 words by November 30th, 2024.
The Lincoln Record Society is keen to recommence in 2024 its series of free online seminars, which it had begun a little while ago through the work of Dr Marianne Wilson. The Lincoln Record Society’s principal focus is to explore documentary sources relating to anywhere that lies within the historic Diocese of Lincoln – the boundaries of which extend well beyond the current county of Lincolnshire.
The intention is to provide a forum in which, in particular, postgraduate research students and early career academic staff can share their research findings in a supportive online research community.
Are you interested in participating in such a seminar programme? Don’t hesitate to contact the Outreach Co-ordinator, Dr Andrew Walker, at andrewwalker1163@gmail.com with details of your research interests and whether or not you would be willing to provide a 20-30-minute paper in the near future.

CALL FOR PAPERS: CHARTISM DAY 2024
The annual Chartism Day Conference was launched at the University of Birmingham in September 1995 by the renowned historian Dorothy Thompson (1923-2011). The Conference brings together established academics, early career and postgraduate researchers, and members of the public who all share a common interest in the history of the Chartist movement. As well as a strong contingent of labour historians, Chartism Day brings together a broad spectrum of academics from the diverse fields of arts and humanities. It is this dynamic interchange between scholars working in an interdisciplinary environment that gives the event its distinctively friendly and productive character.
The next conference will be held at the University of Reading, hosted by Professor David Stack and themed to commemorate Dorothy Thompson’s impressive scholarship. Although we are inviting proposals on any aspect of Chartism, we would particularly welcome papers which closely engage with Dorothy’s special interests.
Proposals might usefully focus on:
Radicalism and political reform
Class and Chartism
Gender and women’s participation in Chartism
The Irish dimension
Feargus O’Connor /Chartist leadership
Presenters can choose to deliver full length (30-45 mins) or shorter papers (15 mins). Full call for papers here.
Deadline: 19 April 2024.
CALL FOR PAPERS: WRITING THE WORLD: EARLY MODERN WOMEN, NATURAL PHILOSOPHY AND MEDICINE
We are pleased to announce the Call for Papers for our conference Writing the World: Early Modern Women, Natural Philosophy and Medicine, on Thursday 11th July and Friday 12th July 2024 at the University of York.
How do early modern women writers think with, through and about natural philosophy and medicine in their writing? How do the genres and forms they choose to write in affect their scientific thoughts, ideas and conclusions? What is the value of fiction or literature to natural philosophy and medicine? What role does gender play in natural philosophical or medical discourse and debates? This two-day conference seeks to explore the rich connections and interactions between natural philosophy and medicine, and early modern women’s writing across a range of genres and forms. Keynote speakers include Professor Danielle Clarke (UCD) and Dr Julia Martins (Independent). The conference is kindly supported by the University of York’s Centre for Renaissance and Early Modern Studies (CREMS) and British Society for Literature and Science (BSLS).
We invite proposals for 20-minute papers on women’s writing, natural philosophy, and medicine in the early modern period (broadly conceived). Topics may include but aren’t limited to:
How women engaged with natural philosophy/medicine across a range of forms or genres e.g. receipt/recipe books, poetry, diaries, letters, drama, prose etc.
Alchemy and the occult.
Natural history, including botany, geology and mineralogy.
Natural theology.
Acoustics, music, and sound.
Interconnections between women’s writing, natural philosophy and the wider intellectual culture.
CALL FOR PAPERS: COMMUNITIES OF KNOWLEDGE-MAKING IN BRITAIN: THE HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES BEFORE AND BEYOND THE PROFESSIONAL ACADEMY, c. 1750-1950
Proposals are invited from anyone wishing to take part in a workshop exploring the role of local and regional knowledge-making communities in Britain. Proposed papers might focus on, for example:
literary and philosophical societies
mechanics’ institutes
publishing clubs
literary, artistic, or dramatic associations
field clubs
reading rooms
subscription libraries
book clubs
antiquarian, archaeological, or historical societies.
This workshop is aimed at historians, archivists, curators, librarians, and local researchers. It aims to explore the role played by informal, sociable, and community-centred organisations in the development of humanistic and social knowledge in modern Britain (c.1750-1950).
If your proposal is chosen you will be invited to a one-day workshop to be held at the Bath Royal Literary and Scientific Institution on 25 June. Together participants will explore the idea that provincial societies, which combined sociability with intellectual cultivation of various kinds, are a key way in which the history of ideas in Britain can be opened up and re-evaluated. At the same time, the workshop is an opportunity to reflect on the future of community-based knowledge work, and to seek new, more inclusive ways forward for knowledge-making beyond the academy.
Proposals should be no more than 250 words for papers no longer than 30 minutes. Please send to Dr Martha Vandrei at m.vandrei@exeter.ac.uk no later than 31 March 2024.
IHR@ST ANDREWS: TELLING AND SHARING STORIES
Historical practice is rooted in both the telling, and the sharing, of stories; yet we often think more about the former than the latter. In this one-day workshop aimed at Postgraduate and Early Career Researchers, we will explore the different ways we can communicate our research and consider the different audiences that we might want to reach. What does it mean to be a public historian today and what does ‘the public’ want from historical research? How do we engage audiences of contrasting ages, experiences and interests, and what does it really mean to do impactful work? Are there particular ethical considerations when working ‘in public’?
A number of bursaries are available to assist with travel costs for those not based in St Andrews. You can apply for a bursary using this form until 3 April; decisions will be shared in the w/c 8th April.
Seeing, whether through the lens of perception or representation, plays a pivotal role in shaping our understanding of the world and of those who inhabit it. Within this web of visual perception, knowledge construction, and power dynamics, we take ‘Muslimness’ as a focal point at which various modes of seeing converge, intersect, and often clash. This inquiry encompasses a study of ‘Muslimness’ as expressed in literature, film, culture, architecture, food, animal studies, fashion, and more broadly, as ‘presence’ in physical digital and spectral forms. The act of seeing goes beyond mere observation; it influences our perception, understanding, and further representation of Muslimness. These modes of seeing, whether they be oppressive, digital, communal, individual, self-perpetuating, or self-fulfilling, create discursive notions of authenticity, representation, and self-fashioning within Muslim communities. We seek to explore the multifaceted dimensions of seeing, presenting, and representing Muslimness and its profound impact on being. Building on scholarship that considers Muslimness as a plural and heterogenous social category, we aim to query what epistemological hierarchies determine how Muslimness is seen, shown and performed. What are the affective responses to Muslimness, and how do they manifest? In other words, what does Muslimness do, and what does seeing Muslimness do.
We invite scholars, researchers, and practitioners from across disciplines and genres to unpack these complex ways of seeing Muslimness and question its forms, formations and transformations. We welcome interdisciplinary perspectives from scholars engaged in fields such as cultural studies, sociology, anthropology, media & film studies, digital humanities, literature, and architecture. Potential paper topics include but are not limited to:
Gaze, surveillance, and stereotyping
Ideas of ‘Muslimness’ in animals, the supernatural, and the extra-human
Digital/Physical Visual symbols in local, vernacular and global contexts
Built and Digital Infrastructures
Muslimness in Everyday Life: personal and communal experiences.
Cross-border and cross-cultural Muslimness: Diasporic and migrational perspectives
Politics of unseeing, exclusion, and erasure
Politics of secularization
Violence (material and non-material)
Digital Activism
The Spectacle and the Narrative in art, media and popular culture
Muslimness in/as Environmentalism
Humanist and Posthumanist Perspectives
Please submit an abstract, not exceeding 300 words, along with a brief biography.
Please note that this is an in-person conference. Participants will be required to be present in Cambridge on the date of the conference. We would not be able to provide travel or accommodation bursaries for the participants.
CALL FOR PAPERS: KEATS-SHELLEY ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA ROUNDTABLE AT MLA 2025
“Invisible Genres of the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries”
The Keats-Shelley Association of America invites proposals for its guaranteed session at the Modern Language Association Convention, 9-12 January, 2025, in New Orleans.
In dialogue with the 2025 presidential theme, “Visibility,” this session aims to consider how invisible, incipient or overlooked genres take form and expression in the work of Keats, the Shelleys, and their contemporaries.
What are the conditions under which a genre becomes visible? How does genre function as a tool of evaluation? If generic categories tend to be characterized by similarities in form, style and subject matter, what implicit hierarchies govern the thresholds for distinguishing or studying a genre? Proposals that explore contested, marginalized, or hybrid genres, or which question how and why certain genres became more visible than others, are especially welcome. Other topics might include visions or ambitions for genre in the Romantic period; genres, forms or modes that center invisibility or the non-visual; genres vis-a-vis categories of race and/or gender; abolitionist genres; cultural exchange among Romantic movements; the return of repressed genres; vanishing genres; the dissolution of genre; generic supplements; idiosyncratic groupings of texts that might function as genres; the category of distressed genre; lyric and the uses of lyricism; generic expectations and generic experimentation in anglophone literature of the late-eighteenth and early-nineteenth centuries.
Please submit abstracts for 8-10 minute papers (max 300 words) to Amelia Worsley, aworsley@amherst.edu, by March 10, 2024.
