The conference is a supernumerary conference for NAVSA,
BAVS, and AVSA. The dates will be June 3-6, 2013 and the deadline
for proposals is October 4, just a few days after the NAVSA '12 Wisconsin
conference. NAVSA's regular conference will occur in 2013 at the
Huntington, the Getty, and Pasadena from October 23-27. You can find more
information about the Venice conference at the following web site: http://glocalvictorians.wordpress.com/
The deadline, once
again, is October 4.
The conference will occur on the beautiful island of San
Servolo, just a 10-minute vaporetto ride from Piazza San Marco, the tourist
heart of Venice. There will be the option to stay on the island of San
Servolo, in dorm room housing (with bathroom in room) for the fee of €53.33
(US$69) per night per person (an unbeatable rate for Venice!). The rooms
are spare but clean and a number of the rooms will be doubles, triples, and
quadruples, so you would likely be sharing a room in this scenario.
Lynda Nead (Birkbeck, UK) and Lydia Wevers (Victorian U,
Wellington, New Zeland) have been confirmed as plenary speakers. An
opening State of the Field panel will have position papers by Regenia Gagnier
(U Exeter, UK), Jock Macleod (Griffith U, Australia), and Kate Flint (USC,
USA). The conference will include a special night time tour of Basilica
San Marco and a series of material culture seminars spread around the city.
