Uk events

We organise the Cambridge Seminar of Contemporary Writers and The Bookcase (linked to the Edinburgh International Book Festival) biennially. We are involved in other events that vary from year to year, for example the Speechless project in 2008, and we also host the International Welcome Point at The London Book Fair every spring.

Oxford Conference on the Teaching of Literature

This annual conference, which we have historically organised, was designed for all those who teach literature at tertiary and upper secondary levels, or who are involved with teacher training. Participants often contributed short papers on aspects of their own teaching experience and research.
