The Uses of Richard Hoggart: An International, Interdisciplinary 
Conference on
Richard Hoggart's Work and Influence
Monday 3 - Wednesday 5 April 2006
Tapton Hall,
University of Sheffield,
UK

Proposals for papers (20 mins) are sought on the life, work and influence of
Richard Hoggart, founder of the Centre for Contemporary Cultural 
Studies, author
of The Uses of Literacy, Speaking to Each Other, Only Connect, and Everyday
Language and Everyday Life. Papers considering Hoggart alongside his
contemporaries or reminiscing on his influence on their own work or 
discipline
are also welcome.

Richard Hoggart is one of the leading thinkers and cultural critics in the
twentieth century.  His work spans disciplinary boundaries and has 
influenced
many of the leading scholars and writers of the post-war generation and 
beyond.
The conference will celebrate his work and its influence across these
boundaries, including papers from scholars of English Literature and 
Language,
Education, Cultural Studies, Politics and Sociology.

The conference will also mark the acquisition of Hoggart's papers by 
Sheffield
University Library.  The archive contains over fifty years' worth of Richard
Hoggart's papers, including typescripts, correspondence, taped 
broadcasts and a
great deal of other material. There will be a special exhibition from the
Hoggart archive to coincide with the conference and an inauguration 
ceremony.

Richard Hoggart himself will be the keynote speaker, either in person or 
on a
specially commissioned film.  Other speakers so far include Stefan Collini,
Simon Hoggart, Stuart Hall, David Lodge, Sean Matthews, Jon Nixon and 
Jonathan
Rose.

Proposals and expressions of interest are welcome from all disciplines 
and from
postgraduate students as well as established scholars.
