We are also asking for proposals for 20 minute papers which relate to ‘Science and its Practitioners: (Pseudo)Science, Adulteration, Séances, Mesmeric displays; Quacks, Fakes, Phonies etc.’ and ‘Cultural Constructs: Race, Social Purity, Disability, Miscegenation, Degeneration, Eugenics, Nationality etc.’ See the CFP below for full details or visit the website at http://victorianpopularfiction.org.
