CALL FOR PAPERS

Empires and their contested pasts

28th Irish Conference of Historians

at Queen’s University Belfast, Northern Ireland

18-–20 May 2007

We invite proposals for papers exploring aspects of the general theme  
of empires and their contested pasts. There is no restriction on  
chronology, location, or type of empire. Comparative studies and  
papers examining historiographical debates and/or contestations of  
race, religion, gender, class, and culture will be welcomed. We  
particularly invite proposals from postgraduate students.

The conference is preceded by the 2007 Wiles Lectures on 15–-18 May,  
when Professor Christopher Bayly will speak on ‘Empire and liberalism:  
India and
beyond’. Our aim is to build upon the Wiles themes and to explore the  
complexities, controversies, and contradictions of empires and history  
more
broadly.

Confirmed participants include Christopher Bayly, Richard Drayton,  
Bill Nasson, Nicholas Canny, Jane Ohlmeyer, and Simon Potter.

300-word proposals should be sent to Dr Robert Blyth  
(r.blyth at qub.ac.uk), before 31 December 2006. The conference programme  
will be drawn up by the end of January 2007. General enquiries about  
the conference can be directed to Robert Blyth, Keith Jeffery  
(k.jeffery at qub.ac.uk) or Elaine Doyle (edoyle07 at qub.ac.uk).
