It will examine to what extent York can be described as a \u2018Georgian\u2019 city, and whether that label is relevant or meaningful in the present day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the first conference organised by the York Georgian Society, in conjunction with the Centre for Eighteenth-Century Studies at the University of York. It will be held in the beautiful and historic King\u2019s Manor just outside the city walls; historically this is the most important building in York after the Minster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The keynote lectures will be given by Professor Rosemary Sweet of the University of Leicester, and Madeleine Pelling, historian, writer, and broadcaster. Others speakers are from the Faculty of Arts and Humanities at the University of York: Professor Jon Mee, Dr Matt Jenkins, and PhD students Constance Halstead and Rachel Feldberg. The day ends with a round table to discuss issues raised on the day and a reception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find a full programme and details about the speakers on the York Georgian Society\u2019s website, where you can register for the conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peoplesfundraising.com\/event\/cecs-ygs-joint-conference-\">https:\/\/www.peoplesfundraising.com\/event\/cecs-ygs-joint-conference-<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tickets cost \u00a35 for students, \u00a315 for members of the Society and University of York staff, \u00a325 for others.
