THE BURN CONFERENCE

FRENCH STUDIES IN SCOTLAND AND THE NORTH OF ENGLAND

26-28 OCTOBER 2001

Call for Papers

The next annual Burn Conference will be held at the weekend of 26 to 28 October 2001.
Papers of approximately 20 minutes in any area of French Studies are invited.
We hope to publish a selection of articles based on the Conference in the new e-journal of Edinburgh University's School of European Languages and Cultures, 'Arachnofiles'.
As in previous years, newly appointed colleagues and post-graduate students are particularly encouraged to offer papers, but we are also counting on contributions from more senior and long-standing colleagues to make the Burn a stimulating forum for new ideas.
The conference takes place in a large country house near Edzell (Tayside). The atmosphere is informal and congenial and the Saturday afternoon is free for walks and talks.
Please send proposals for papers and/or indication of interest in attendance to Dr Marion Schmid at the address or e-mail below by 15 June.
