The committee is excited to introduce seminars to this year’s conference format.  Participants will pre-circulate position papers and, through conversation, work to identify important points of intersection and divergence.  Seminars will be held on the topics of “Colonial Violence,” led by Dr. Richard Price (University of Maryland), “Political Violence At Home and Abroad,” led by Dr. Bill Meier (Texas Christian University), and “Sensational Violence: ‘The Mysteries Which Are At Our Own Doors,’” led by Dr. Lisa Surridge (University of Victoria).  Detailed seminar descriptions are available at the website; proposals for the seminars are also due this Thursday.

In addition, the committee would like to invite applicants to “like” our Facebook page so that they can keep track of events and discussions of interest to Victorianists across disciplines.
