The conference is associated with the AHRC-funded international research network ‘Cognitive Futures in the Humanities’.

Postgraduate bursaries will be awarded on a competitive basis, and the conference will feature a number of themed strands, with distinguished scholars (such as Alan Richardson and David Miall) serving as panel respondents.
