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.
