Common Threads: Black and Asian British Women’s Writing International Conference: Call for papers
Deadline: Mon 31 Jan 2022
Following the inaugural conference of the Black British Women’s Writing Network (BBWWN) at the University of Brighton in 2014, we are pleased to announce the second international conference on Black and Asian British Women’s Writing taking place at the University of Brighton from 21st-23rd July 2022.
This conference celebrates the fact that so many Black and Asian women writers have emerged in the last two decades and acknowledges the significant impact their writing has made on publishing and the media since 2015. Confirmed Keynote Speaker: Bernardine Evaristo
Submissions are invited from academics, postgraduate and early career researchers, teachers, publishers and literary activists. We welcome individual papers and panel proposals on any genre and topic related to writing by Black and Asian British women and queer people of colour.
Common Threads is an in-person event, but a limited number of online presentations/panels can be accommodated.
Organisers: Professor Suzanne Scafe (Brighton), Dr. Sarah Lawson-Welsh (York St. John), Kadija George Sesay (Brighton), Dr Vedrana Velickovic (Brighton) and Amanda Holiday (Brighton).
