Had a wonderful time at InCSA’s conference in Washington DC a couple weeks ago presenting a paper on New Zealand women’s fern albums and hearing about some amazing 19th century research. Enjoyed making my own traditional broom at the conference reception at the Smithsonian

The palaeontologist Mary Anning was born on this day 227 years ago! In our Fossil Marine Reptiles Gallery, you’ll find some of Mary Anning's spectacular finds, including her ichthyosaur, plesiosaur and pterosaur. Much like they did two centuries ago, her discoveries continue to intrigue us today.🦴

Our brilliant PhD students have organised a conference - Placing the Nineteenth Century - and you’re all invited! Friday 26th June CFP deadline: Friday 1st May We’re all excited for our keynote speaker, @drclaireocall.bsky.social 🤩 Please share - and send us an abstract!

Placing the Nineteenth Century: A PGR/ECR conference
Friday 26th June 2026

Image of Blackpool

Edge Hill Nineteen research centre is excited to invite you to 'Placing the Nineteenth Century', a PGR/ECR conference focused on the North (West) of England in nineteenth-century literature and history.
London and the South have often been the heart of discussion about the nineteenth century. However, development in industry during the period brought popularity to cities such as Liverpool and Manchester, which led to a boom of industrial growth in the north of England. In the nineteenth century, the north of England developed like never before, both within cities and in more rural areas.

EHUNineteen @ehunineteen.bsky.social · 6mo ago

Following a recent EHU19 research symposium, PhD students from literature and history came together to discuss their emerging research and found a common theme - place. More specifically, the North (and North West) of England was a uniting thread, and so the idea for such a conference was born.

We invite proposals that engage with 'place' in the long nineteenth century, with particular attention to the North (West), broadly conceived. Papers may approach place as material, imagined, represented, contested, remembered, or speculative. We welcome MA/MRes students, PhD students, and Early Career Researchers whose research interests focus on the North (West) of England in nineteenth-century literary studies, history, art history and related disciplines, with suggested (but not limited to) topics such as:

• Fictional/fantastical representations of the North (West)
• The legacy of space in the North (West)
• Transnational and postcolonial links to the North (West): colonial, imperial, and transatlantic contexts (e.g, Liverpool as a global port)
• Museums, archives, and collections: regional museums and the afterlives of nineteenth-century places
• Gendered, racialised, and marginalised spaces: who belongs, who is excluded, and how space is policed
• Landscape across disciplines: historical, literary, artistic, and creative engagements with the natural and industrial landscapes of the North (West) in the long nineteenth century
• The North (West) in popular culture, periodicals, visual culture, and performance
• Queer histories and queer readings of place, including non-normative identities & relationships

Please send abstracts of approximately 250 words (including title) for 10-15 minute papers, along with a short biography to ehu 19place@outlook.com by 1st May 2026, including name, preferred pronouns, and academic institution.

We are excited to have Dr Claire O'Callaghan giving a keynote address on Top Withens, Wuthering Heights and the impact of literary scholarship. As Dr O'Callagham is also the Editor-in-Chief of the Brontë Studies journal, she has kindly agreed to also run a workshop on publishing in an academic journal.

Given the conference's emphasis on 'place', we are excited to offer an in-person conference gathering in the North West and warmly welcome participants to join us here. However, we are also committed to accessibility needs and widening participation, so please indicate if you would prefer to present online in your application. Please also do let us know about any other access needs or adjustments that can make your experience easier.
