The theme of the conference, which was held June 7-10 at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, Canada, was Interdisciplinary/Multidisciplinary Woolf.
Organized by Ann Martin, the event included the following plenary speakers:
Alexandra Harris, University of Liverpool and author of Romantic Moderns: English Writers, Artists and the Imagination from Virginia Woolf to John Piper, which won the Guardian First Book Award last year. Harris also has plans in the works for two other books.
According to the conference website, the theme is “inspired by Woolf’s efforts to cross, undermine, and sometimes reassert disciplinary and other boundaries in her body of work. Conference organizers welcome scholars, teachers, students, readers, activists, community groups and artists who respond to Woolf and her circle from diverse points of view. Of particular interest are interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary approaches to Woolf, whether in the form of research, pedagogy and creative work or community or institutional activities.”
A call for papers will be circulated this summer, and more details about the program and events will be posted soon.
