We are pleased to announce the 6th International Conference of the Aphra Behn Society Europe “Gender Cartographies: Histories, Texts & Cultures in the Long Eighteenth Century, 1660-1830” hosted by the University of Huelva under the auspices of the Aphra Behn Society Europe. The Conference will be held at Santa María de La Rábida Campus (Andalusian International University) only 11 kilometres away from Huelva city centre, and will run from Wednesday, October 5th through Friday, October 7th, 2016. The inspiration of the Conference is first and foremost the literary production, critical resonance and lasting influence of the traditionally considered first professional woman writer in English, Aphra Behn, though the scope of the event is wider and includes historical, textual and cultural approaches to the long eighteenth century with a particular focus on women’s writing.We invite proposals from scholars and academics on these related fields, but will also welcome papers from postgraduate and postdoctoral students. We hope to offer participants a productive academic and social occasion to share knowledge and interact profitably in a valuable historic site. The deadline for submission is May 20, 2016.
