Keynotes: Dr David James (University of Nottingham) and Prof Peter 
Boxall (University of Sussex)

The first decade of the new millennium witnessed a range of exciting 
developments in English Literature. From innovations in recognised 
forms such as the novel, poem, play and short story to developments 
in blogging, digital writings, new media, creative writing and new 
genre and trends from Steampunk to Slash, Nordic Noir to Faction. 
Alongside these developments, the publishing industry also changed, 
with technological advances giving rise to the dawn of the eBook and 
corporate sponsorship igniting debates about the usefulness of 
literary prizes and festivals.

This unique one day event will reflect on the teaching of 
post-millennial literature in HE and FE to offer the emerging field 
of twenty-first century literature as a new and directional source of 
understanding and creative inspiration for contemporary students and scholars.

Proposals for 20 minute papers may address, but are not limited to:

   *   Post-Millennial forms, genres and trends
   *   New authors
   *   Literary prizes and festivals
   *   Adaptations and innovations
   *   Digital writings and publishing
   *   Book clubs
   *   Creative writing

For those giving papers, all travel expenses will be covered by the HEA

For those wishing to attend, the symposium - including refreshments 
and lunch - is free, but spaces are strictly limited and early 
registration is vital

To send a paper proposal (150 words by 15th May) or register for a
