The full programme for the Women in German Studies UK & Ireland Conference has now been published: https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/arts/modernlanguages/academic/ks/womeningermanstudies.

Due to the online format, the conference will be free to attend for paid-up members. In support of our PG and precarious colleagues, we invite you to make a donation to the WIGS account (please use the word “donation” in the payment reference). This money will go towards supporting future conference attendance, travel grants and emergency hardship funds for PGRs, ECRs, and members on precarious contracts. To join WIGS or to find out the details of the bank account, please contact Sarah Pogoda.

The conference will take place via MS Teams. All paid-up members are invited to participate. Links for the meetings will be shared on WIGS-FORUM@JISCMAIL.AC.UK in the week before the conference. Please contact K.Stone@warwick.ac.uk if you have any questions.

The 2020 Symposium of the Warwick Network for Parish Research addresses the theme of remembrance very broadly defined. Contributions might explore ‘lost’ parishes or churches, the evidence from chronicles, reminiscences about particular communities / characters / rituals, conceptual approaches to local memory, case studies of monuments, buildings or landscape features, long-term transformations, visualizations of architectural features or settlement evolutions, source editions or other related topics.

Keynote addresses:

Stefan DORNHEIM (Dresden)

Confession and Memory. The Lutheran Parsonage as an Agency of Remembrance

Nicola WHYTE (Exeter)

Keynotes by Stefan Dornheim (Dresden) and Nicola Whyte (Exeter)
