What is the conference about?
With the rise of interdisciplinary criticisms, new and exciting light has been shed on the humanities, whether new avenues into past or contemporary literature, art or history, new forms of fiction and poetry, or blended methodologies and criticisms.
This conference will discuss various ways that the humanities might approach this new and open territory.
Can you be involved?
Yes!
The Postgraduate Conference Committee will consider abstracts from any of the humanities including – but not limited to – literary studies, creative writing, art and art history, philosophy, history, rhetoric and composition studies, film and television studies, communications, or education.
What else?

Professor Peter Barry (Aberystwyth University, author of Beginning Theory, and Literature in Context)
Professor Mark Willhardt (Monmouth College; Monmouth, IL, USA
Dr Tiffany Atkinson (Aberystwyth University, author of Kink and Particle)
