The deadline for proposals for the one day seminar on Women Travellers in
India has been extended to Monday 3rd March.

As part of the Maria Graham research project, the Centre for Travel
Writing Studies at Nottingham Trent University will be hosting three one-
day seminars in 2008. These will focus on women travellers to each of the
three principal regions that Maria Graham visited and wrote about: Italy,
India and Latin America.

The CTWS accordingly invites proposals for 20 minute papers that consider
any aspect of women’s travel, or women’s travel writing, relating to each
of these regions. The papers can approach the topic from any disciplinary
angle, and can focus on any historical period.
