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.
Downloadable Paper Proposal forms are available here: https://burneysociety.uk/conferences.
The deadline for Proposals is 31st March 2024 but proposals will be considered when received. Please email all forms to Trudie Messent, conference organiser, via ukburneysociety@gmail.com with ‘Proposal’, ‘Registration’ or ‘Membership’ in the subject line.
Response to paper proposals will be emailed no later than 1 April 2024. The Old Royal Naval College is a wonderful location but the venue is not large so prompt registration is recommended. Registration refunds will be available until 1 May 2024, when we have to confirm numbers with the University. This conference is only open to Burney Society Members, both UK and North American Society. The membership form for the UK Society is available below. Burney Society of North America membership details are available from the McGill Burney Centre website.
