The Martineau Society will be hosting its annual conference in Manchester, England. The Martineau Society conference is an interdisciplinary conference that focuses on the lives, work, and contributions of the Martineau family, including its two most famous and influential members, Harriet Martineau (1802-1876) and James Martineau (1805-1900).
Started by Norwich Unitarians in 1994, the Martineau Society encourages scholarship on the Martineau family and their nineteenth-century context as well as their continuing influence.
The conference will be held at Chancellors Hotel, Mosely Road, Fallowfield, Manchester, England, from Tuesday, July 23 to Friday, July 26, 2019. Individual paper presentations, including a question and answer session, are approximately 40 minutes, depending upon number of conference presenters. Anyone interested in giving a shorter 20-minute paper should indicate this preference on the registration form. Please submit a 150-word abstract and complete the registration form found on The Martineau Society website at http://martineausociety.co.uk/2019-martineau-society-conference-23-27-july-manchester/ and send so it arrives by post by May 6, 2019 to the Society’s Secretary, Sharon Connor, at 13 Lancaster Road, Formby, Merseyside L37 6AS, or by e-mail at sharonconnor@live.co.uk.
