Call for Papers: Teaching the Renaissance
17 March 2010, University of Central Lancashire
Keynotes: Lisa Hopkins and Stephen Longstaffe
This free event is being jointly run by the English Subject Centre and the Northern Renaissance Seminar and hosted by the University of Central Lancashire in conjunction with the University of Northumbria.
Brief description
This one-day seminar will use discussion and debate to assess the current state of teaching Renaissance literature and culture. As we continue to advance our knowledge of the Renaissance as a cultural, political, historical and theoretical field, how does our research shape and inform the way that we teach the subject?
Conversely, to what extent are the demands of teaching influencing the methods and subjects of new research?
The seminar will provide an opportunity to share innovative approaches to teaching a subject as diverse and complex as the Renaissance. It will also provide a forum for talking about vital issues about the institutional place of Renaissance studies in educational contexts.
The seminar will be hosted by the University of Central Lancashire under the auspices of the Northern Renaissance Seminar. However, participation will be open to all academics in the UK. The seminar’s organisers are Stuart Hampton-Reeves (UCLan) and Monika Smialkowska (Northumbria).
The event will consist of a mixture of paper sessions and a round-table debate.
Call for Papers
The organisers invite contributors to submit a 250-word abstract for either:
A 20-minute presentation OR a 45-minute workshop on Teaching the Renaissance.
Abstracts should include a title, a description of the paper or workshop and a brief note on the author. They should be submitted by 30 November 2009 to Monika Smialkowska
