Academics invited to submit papers for Cinderella conference
Mon 28 November, 2016
Academics are being invited to submit papers for a conference at the ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ that will explore how the Cinderella story is interpreted around the world.
The conference, called All about Cinderella: retellings in the cultural imagination, will take place in June 2017 and is organised by the ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½’s Research Institute for Media, Arts and Performance (RIMAP)
The conference will provide an open debate about the ever-present story of Cinderella, focussing on the role of performance and storytelling as a way to analyse moments of significant artistic, cultural and social change.
Senior Lecturer in English Literature Dr Nicola Darwood said: “The conference is an exciting opportunity for academics from a range of disciplines, including literature, dance, theatre and film, to share their research on the ever-popular and ever-present tale of Cinderella.
“We have already received a number of very interesting proposals from academics in the UK, Australia and the USA and we’re looking forward to welcoming colleagues from around the world to the ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½.”
Please send abstracts and support documentation to cinderella@beds.ac.uk by 11.30pm on Friday 9 December 2016.
Notification of acceptance will be sent by Friday 3 February 2017.
