We also welcome proposals for complete panels, which should consist of a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 4 presenters.\u00a0Those selected for the conference will be invited to give a short presentation. Abstracts should be submitted along with a bio of not more than 150 words by\u00a030th April 2018.\u00a0Proposals received after the deadline will not be considered.<\/p>\n<p>We intend this to be an opportunity for delegates to share and receive feedback on their work in a friendly and informal setting.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to paper panels, the conference intends to offer:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A keynote address (TBA)<\/li>\n<li>A panel of experts in Caribbean studies sharing tips and personal experiences of building an academic career and\/or a career in the heritage sector<\/li>\n<li>An opportunity to learn more about The National Archives and explore their collections and reading rooms<\/li>\n<li>Coffee\/tea\/light refreshments (please note that lunch will not be provided but a wide selection of hot meals, sandwiches and salads are available from The National Archives\u2019 canteen.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This event is free to attend. It has been thought out in the spirit of previous years\u2019 postgraduate conferences. As Caribbean postgraduates are often dispersed across departments and universities, this event hopes to offer delegates an opportunity to meet with others who share their interests and to discuss their work, fostering ties that will endure throughout their studies. Many postgraduates also felt that the postgraduate conference held last year had provided them with a unique experience that prepared them to present papers to the annual conference of the Society for Caribbean Studies (SCS) that took place later in the year. This year\u2019s SCS conference will be at the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies, Senate House, University of London, 4th \u2013 6th July 2018.<\/p>\n<p>Please send abstracts of up to 250 words (in English) to:<br \/>\nAyshah Johnston: <a href=\"mailto:ayshah_johnston@hotmail.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ayshah_johnston@hotmail.com<\/a>\u00a0and Diana Josan: <a href=\"mailto:en204dj@gold.ac.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">en204dj@gold.ac.uk<\/a><\/p>\n<p>by 21st May 2018 with the subject heading \u201cCaribbean Postgraduate Conference\u201d.
