While Renaissance and Early Modern Studies are focused on the two and a half centuries between 1500 and 1750, the areas of research that the period encompasses are multi-disciplinary and wide-ranging. A common thread is the spatial or geographical dimension. This conference aims to attract a wide audience, to explore correspondences between geography, literary and historical fields of research, to enable varied and cross-disciplinary discourses between scholars and students of the arts and sciences, and to enrich renaissance and early modern research with methodological and thematic diversity. There will be panels on: 'Spiritual Geographies', 'Cartographic Spaces', 'Mapping the Other', 'Mapping the Familiar'.

Please note, there is a delegate's fee of £10 for applications received before 14 September 2011, rising to £12 for applications received after that date. There is an additional £5 charge for those delegates wishing to attend the conference reception, at which early modern-inspired refreshments will be served. This conference is organised by postgraduate REMS researchers at the University of Bristol and supported by The Bristol Institute for Research in the Humanities and Arts.

Shakespeare: Sources and Adaptation Conference, Sept 2011
In September 2011 the Cambridge University Faculty of Education, in association with the Cambridge University Faculty of English, The Marlowe Society and the Association of Adaptation Studies will host an interdisciplinary three day conference entitled ‘Shakespeare: Sources and Adaptation’.
The conference will explore some of the classical and vernacular drama and poetry and the historical sources that inspired Shakespeare’s work, and the work – literary, artistic, musical and filmic – that has in turn been influenced by Shakespeare’s plays.

It is hoped that the theme will encourage participants from a range of disciplines – English, Drama, Education, Music, Modern Languages, Classics, History, Art and Film.
Speakers include: Carol Ann Duffy, Michael Rosen, Professor Helen Cooper, Professor Graham Holderness, Professor Stuart Sillars, actress Imogen Stubbs and directors Rupert Goold and Sir Trevor Nunn (subject to other commitments).
The conference will include an exhibition of painting and poetry inspired byShakespeare by artist Tom de Freston and poet Kiran Millwood-Hargrave. There will also be a display of paintings and poetry by students from local Cambridge schools, with whom Tom and Kiran will run a series of workshops.
