Classical Association Annual Conference 2008 - University of Liverpool

***Deadline for abstracts: 31st July 2007***

Call for papers

From 27 to 30 March 2008, the University of Liverpool is hosting the
Classical Association annual conference. 2008 is also the year that
Liverpool is European Capital of Culture, making the city an exciting
destination for visitors, old and new. Around 2 million people from around
the globe are expected to join the year-long celebrations, enjoying world-
class festivals of music, dance, theatre, and art alongside the city’s long-
standing attractions: the UNESCO world-heritage waterfront, the Tate and
Williamson galleries of contemporary and pre-Raphaelite art, and the
excellent National Museums Liverpool.

In keeping with one of the themes of Liverpool 2008, The World in One City,
the conference will bring together scholars from diverse countries and
traditions to share their research on an international stage and bring a
classical component to the cultural proceedings. With panellists from
Europe, North America, the Middle East and Australasia already confirmed,
we would like now to invite proposals for individual papers to complete the
conference programme. We are particularly looking to fill spaces on panels
dedicated to 'Greek and Roman sport' and 'Living in the City', and on
a 'Classics in the Subject Centre panel on Teaching and Learning' (further
information about these sessions is available on the CA 2008 website:
www.liv.ac.uk/sace/events/confer/ca.htm). Otherwise we are happy to
receive proposals relating to any aspect of the Classical World. Papers
should be 20 minutes long.

Please send your title and 200-word abstract by e-mail to Dr Fiona Hobden
(CAprog AT liv.ac.uk) by 31st July 2007.
