A two-day Graduate Conference, organized by graduates from the History Faculties of the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, entitled Historicizing the French Revolution, will be held at St John's College and New Hall, Cambridge, on 15 and 16 November 2007.
Abstracts are invited from graduates from all faculties and all universities wishing to give a 20- to 30-minute paper to a friendly audience of fellow graduates and leading academics. The organizers will consider 300-word abstracts from graduates working on various aspects of French, European, and Extra-European history and historiography since 1789: the historiography of the French Revolution, aspects of political theory which can be linked back to 1789, in Europe as well as in the colonies, 19th- and 20th-century intellectual history linked to the Revolution, as well as abstracts for papers in the field of national memory and political memory of France and other European/Extra European nations in their relationship with the memory of 1789.
Abstracts should be sent to Isabel DiVanna (e-mail id239@cam.ac.uk) by 30 April 2007. A full programme will be released during the summer. Details of accommodation and transportation, as well as bursary schemes, will be posted in July 2007.
