TWELFTH COLLOQUIUM ON CEMETERIES

TWELFTH COLLOQUIUM ON CEMETERIES


University of York, United Kingdom, Friday 27th May, 2011


A call is now being given for papers for the Twelfth Colloquium on Cemeteries, 2011. This event takes place in York every year and comprises a day meeting of scholars with an interest in cemeteries and burial. Disciplines that are routinely represented include historians, art historians, sociologists, anthropologists, historical archaeologists, landscape architects, conservators and policy analysts. The Colloquium often draws international speakers. A key aspect of the Colloquium is its informality and the time that is given to question and debate, making it a highly valuable forum in which to present new and emerging research. Abstracts of no more than 250 words should be sent to: Dr Julie Rugg, Cemetery Research Group, University of York, Heslington, York, YO10 5DD. Abstracts are also accepted by email: julie.rugg@york.ac.uk. Please ensure that the abstract is in Word format. Queries about the event should in the first instance be directed by email to the address given.


NOTE: This year, the Colloquium celebrates 20 years of cemetery research at the University of York. A special anniversary conference dinner will take place on Thursday 26th May.


The deadline for abstracts is 31st March 2011.
