Registration is now live for the Birmingham Eighteenth Century Centre’s twentieth anniversary conference: “Crisis, Continuity, and Transformation in Eighteenth-Century Studies,” taking place on the University of Birmingham’s Edgbaston campus on Thursday 26 and Friday 27 June 2025.<\/p>\n
To book your place at the conference as a non-presenting participant, please click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Our programme begins at 11.30am on Thursday 26 and will run until 5pm on Friday 27 June, and your registration will include lunches on both days as well as a drinks reception (some might say, birthday party) Thursday evening.<\/p>\n Headlining the event, we are delighted and extremely grateful to have Professor Linda Colley<\/a> of Princeton University, speaking about her wide-ranging work and the importance of the eighteenth century, in conversation with our director Tom Cutterham. That conversation will take place on Thursday afternoon, before the reception.<\/p>\n The rest of the programme features a range of junior and senior scholars, both from Birmingham and further afield. Individual contributions will include Joanna de Groot (York) on decolonizing eighteenth-century studies, Mark Knights (Warwick) on understanding continuity and change, Rebecca Owen-Keats (Birmingham) on the “sound of science” in Joseph Wright of Derby’s Experiment in the Air Pump, and Adam Bridgen (Durham) on antislavery and abolition.<\/p>\n A full programme will be circulated to registered attendees by the end of May.
