Call for Papers:
Polish Studies Working Group Postgraduate Workshop
The TORCH Polish Studies Working Group invites postgraduate and early-career researchers to submit proposals for 20-minute presentations on topics related to the study of Polish literature and culture. No matter if your research falls into the broad category of Polish Studies, or whether you find yourself working on its fringes, we encourage you to apply and share your work in a welcoming environment.
The aim of our workshop is to provide a platform for all researchers interested in Polish material to share their discoveries, discuss issues, exchange ideas, and form collaborations. We want to create an international and interdisciplinary network of postgraduate and early-career scholars in order to combat the sense of disciplinary and institutional isolation many Polish Studies scholars experience.
The workshop will take the shape of monthly sessions, lasting one hour. The papers can be standalone presentations, dissertation chapters, articles, and others, and will form the basis for our discussions.
The sessions will take place online, every last Thursday of the month, between October 2023 and June 2024. The working language of the sessions will be English.
Please send your abstracts and short bios to the TORCH Polish Studies Working Group’s co-convenors, Ola Sidorkiewicz (ola.sidorkiewicz@st-hughs.ox.ac.uk) and Marianna Leszczyk (marianna.leszczyk@balliol.ox.ac.uk). If you wish, you may indicate a preference for the date of your session.
The deadline to submit proposals is 7 October 2023, and we will notify all applicants of our decision outcome by 14 October 2023.
We are very much looking forward to your submissions and to getting to know your research!
The Polish Studies Working Group (PSWG) is part of the TORCH Critical-Thinking Communities
