2024 UK Conference 13 – 15 June in Queen Anne Building, Old Royal Naval College, University of Greenwich, Historic Greenwich, London. 

The Burney Society UK is inviting submissions for its 2024 conference ‘Exploring Burneys’ to be held in Queen Anne Building, Old Royal Naval College, University of Greenwich, Historic Greenwich, London, from Thursday 13 – Saturday 15 June 2024. The Society is offering two prizes for papers presented at the conference, each worth £100, a President’s Prize and a Conference Prize. 

The conference theme ‘Exploring Burneys’ was deliberately designed to encompass a variety of approaches, from exploration and travel by members of the Burney family and their circle, to explorations of their lives, literature, music, art, cultural milieu, and significance.
