ASAUK Biennial Conference 2010
September 16–19, 2010, University of Oxford
The ASAUK Biennial conference will be held in Oxford in 2010, at St Antony’s College and other venues. The conference will run from 2pm on Thursday Sept 16th to 1pm on Sunday 19th September.
ASAUK are not attempting to give the conference a single theme. Part of the conference is being organised around streams of related papers, with particularly strong themes on literature (convenor Zoe Norridge), elections and democratisation (Nic Cheeseman and Paul Nugent), land and agriculture (Robin Palmer), aspects of environmental history and politics (Karen Brown and Dan Brockington), as well as clusters of papers convened by journals. There will be six sub-plenary talks (two each evening from 6-7pm on 16th, 17th and 18th), a presidential address and presentations (Friday 17th at 8pm) and a wide range of other panels, covering everything from economic history, and colonial social history, to contemporary urban society, popular culture and international relations.
