AoS Conference: George I - 300 Years On: Reconstructing the Succession
I admit this is a little earlier in the period than usual, but I thought I'd post it here in case it might be of interest to some of you.
------
This year is the 300th Anniversary of the Hanoverian Succession in Britain. To mark the occasion the History Department at Bath Spa University, in association with Göttingen University and Mannheim University, will be hosting a conference over the weekend of 18th-20th June 2014.
"This interdisciplinary conference takes the theme of the accession of the first Hanoverian king, George I - it will examine not just the end of the Stuart era, but the defining characteristics, outcomes and consequences the Hanoverian succession.
Led by the History postgraduate community, and hosted by Bath Spa University, Göttingen University and Mannheim University, this international conference will be held at Bath Royal Literary and Scientific Institution, Queen Square, Bath, BA1 2HN, UK.
Themes include, but are not limited to:
• Art & Architecture
• Gender
• Conflict
• Jacobitism
• Court History
• Personal Union
• Culture
• Politics
• Diplomacy
• Monarchy
• Economic history, trade and commerce
• Religion"
We already have some good papers lined up for this, and abstracts should be posted to the website soon (I shan't be giving a paper, though I shall be contributing an information poster - haven't decided what on yet - and will also be stewarding over all three days).
It should be a really enjoyable conference, held at a great venue in the heart of Georgian Bath. As I said, the period is a little early, but it would be great if some of you'd like to come along. :)
