2014 Kosice Conference: sub-plenary lectures
Dear BSBS members,
The 2014 Kosice conference will continue with the organisation of sub-plenaries. Here are the requirements:
“A number of distinguished keynote speakers, including at least one representing each of the three main fields covered by ESSE (English Language, Literatures in English, and Cultural Studies), will give plenary lectures by direct invitation of the organisers. In addition, there will be approximately 10 sub-plenary or parallel lectures given by ESSE members nominated by their National Associations. These lectures are expected to have a wide appeal and to reflect recent developments in scholarship in one of the three areas mentioned above. They will be fifty minutes in length. National Associations should forward a description of their nominee’s proposed topic together with a brief summary of his or her CV. Each national association can propose up to three lecturers, each of them in one of the three main fields mentioned above, so that the APC can have a wide range of options for the final selection. Please note that ESSE will not finance the sub-plenary lecturers’ costs of attending the conference, but that their conference fees will be waived.”

Dear BSBS members,

Let me know if you are interested in presenting a sub-plenary paper.
We’ll have to vote in support of just one candidate.
