<p>Keynotes: Dr David James (University of Nottingham) and Prof Peter Boxall (University of Sussex)</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Proposals for 20 minute papers may address, but are not limited to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Post-Millennial forms, genres and trends</li>
<li>New authors</li>
<li>Literary prizes and festivals</li>
<li>Adaptations and innovations</li>
<li>Digital writings and publishing</li>
<li>Book clubs</li>
<li>Creative writing</li>
</ul>
<p>For those giving papers, all travel expenses will be covered by the HEA</p>
<p>For those wishing to attend, the symposium - including refreshments and lunch - is free, but spaces are strictly limited and early registration is vital</p>
<p>To send a paper proposal (150 words by 15th May) or register for a place at this event please email <a href="mailto:K.Shaw@brighton.ac.uk">K.Shaw@brighton.ac.uk</a></p>
