Long GallerySpeaking or Organising a Conference at the Centre

If you have an idea for an academic conference or public lecture that falls within any of our areas of interest and are looking for enthusiastic collaboration or simply an attractive venue for the event, do email the faculty member at our centre whose expertise is most closely related to your planned topic. We have had great success with hosting scholarly gatherings in the past - e.g. the annual Harlaxton Symposium, a highly respected Medievalist conference - and are keen to increase our activities in this area.
