Remember:  the deadline for proposals for the 35th Virginia

Woolf Conference, to be held in İstanbul, 24–28 June 2026, on the theme “Virginia Woolf and Sound,” is fast approaching.

Organizers invite submissions that explore how sound—whether musical, environmental, technological, or textual—resonates throughout the work of Virginia Woolf and the Bloomsbury group.

They encourage contributions from scholars at all career stages, independent researchers, students, artists, and readers with a deep interest in Woolf’s work.

The conference will also feature 90-minute interactive workshops, and proposals in non-traditional formats that engage participants in creative or experimental ways are welcome.

Formats for proposals

Proposals are welcome for panels, roundtables, workshops, and exhibitions that take innovative, interdisciplinary, transhistorical, or collaborative approaches to the theme of “Virginia Woolf and Sound.”

Submissions in the following formats will be accepted:

• Individual papers (abstract of 250 words)
• Panels or roundtables (abstract of 500 words for the entire panel or roundtable)
• Interactive workshops (abstract of 500 words)
• Digital/material exhibition or posters (abstract of 250 words)
• Non-traditional or experimental forms of presentation—including dissident, performative, or hybrid formats (abstract of 250-500 words)
