>>
>>Keynote speakers will include Peter Burke (Cambridge), Peter Mandler

>>creative dialogue amongst advocates of such varieties of cultural
>>history; and thus to look to possible futures of research in Cultural History.

>>theme; but the organizers particularly favour papers which explore
>>specified genres of Cultural History as applied in case studies from the
>>subjects highlighted above.
>>

>>note of no more than 100 words, to Dr David Smith
