NORTH EAST POSTGRADUATE FORUM IN THE LONG EIGHTEENTH CENTURY

This forum is designed to enable graduate students based at universities in the North East to meet one another and academic staff to discuss their research interests in the literature and culture of the 'Long Eighteenth Century'. Students taking taught MA or research degrees, postdoctoral researchers and members of academic staff conducting research in the period c. 1660-c.1830 are equally welcome, no matter what their disciplinary background. Meetings are held five times a year, and are spread around the four institutions involved - Durham University, Newcastle University, Northumbria University and the University of Sunderland. The co-ordinators of the Forum are: Professor Pamela Clemit (Durham), Professor Allan Ingram (Northumbria), Dr. Michael Rossington (Newcastle) and Professor Richard Terry (Sunderland). Please contact Prof. Terry for details of meetings of the Forum, or with any inquiries about it (email: richard.terry@sunderland.ac.uk).
