Annual Conference 2012

Call for Papers

Proposals of 150-200 words on any topic related to Conrad's life and work are welcome. Given the upcoming centenary of the publication of Chance, which the Society will mark with a special issue of The Conradian, papers, or panels, on the novel are especially welcome. Proposals, due on 20 April, should be sent to Tim Middletonconrad2012@bathspa.ac.uk

Membership

All participants who are not already members of the Society will be required to take out membership for one year.

Practicalities

Participants must make their own arrangements for accommodation. Suggestions regarding accommodations may be found herein: Accommodations in Bath. It should be noted that there are no parking facilities for conference delegates at Sion Hill except for registered disabled drivers. Useful information about the University and the town of Bath may be found on the following: General Information.

Travel Grants 2012

The Joseph Conrad Society provides discretionary support for scholars and researchers not having access to other sources of funding to participate in the annual conference. These grants are dependent upon income from the Society's investments. Application procedures will be posted on this site when the amount of support available is known.

The Gail Fraser Memorial Travel Grant, open to younger scholars only, may be held concurrently with any other funds granted by the Sociey (see Prizes and Study Grants page).
