Exciting opportunity to collaborate with our own @interwarcrime.bsky.social and Lincoln Bishop University on the history of teacher training colleges, with an openness to alternative presentation formats

The early history of teacher training colleges in Britain, 1836-1918 - call for participants

deadline 8 May 2026

We are inviting participants to attend and contribute to a workshop day at the Quaker Meeting House, Liverpool, on 2 June 2026, organised by Edge Hill University, in collaboration with Lincoln Bishop University.

The intention is to orient most of the day around workshop sessions that contain introductory (c.8-10 minutes) presentations which enable us to collectively discuss and progress particular research questions relating to the early history of teacher training colleges across Britain.

Further aims of the day are to establish a national network to research the history of teacher training, unlock underused archival collections related to this field and to develop interdisciplinary and collaborative research opportunities for the future.

Please provide a 250-word (max) overview of your interest and background in this area to enable the organisers to construct a thematic and coherent programme. Please email to Professor Alyson Brown (browna@edgehill.ac.uk)

• If you have any suggestions or ideas for the best way to present/share your knowledge and research, please do indicate this. We are open to whatever works to advance collaboration and research and make the day as productive as possible

Our brilliant PhD students have organised a conference - Placing the Nineteenth Century - and you’re all invited! Friday 26th June CFP deadline: Friday 1st May We’re all excited for our keynote speaker, @drclaireocall.bsky.social 🤩 Please share - and send us an abstract!

Placing the Nineteenth Century: A PGR/ECR conference
Friday 26th June 2026

Image of Blackpool

Edge Hill Nineteen research centre is excited to invite you to 'Placing the Nineteenth Century', a PGR/ECR conference focused on the North (West) of England in nineteenth-century literature and history.
London and the South have often been the heart of discussion about the nineteenth century. However, development in industry during the period brought popularity to cities such as Liverpool and Manchester, which led to a boom of industrial growth in the north of England. In the nineteenth century, the north of England developed like never before, both within cities and in more rural areas.

Following a recent EHU19 research symposium, PhD students from literature and history came together to discuss their emerging research and found a common theme - place. More specifically, the North (and North West) of England was a uniting thread, and so the idea for such a conference was born.

We invite proposals that engage with 'place' in the long nineteenth century, with particular attention to the North (West), broadly conceived. Papers may approach place as material, imagined, represented, contested, remembered, or speculative. We welcome MA/MRes students, PhD students, and Early Career Researchers whose research interests focus on the North (West) of England in nineteenth-century literary studies, history, art history and related disciplines, with suggested (but not limited to) topics such as:

• Fictional/fantastical representations of the North (West)
• The legacy of space in the North (West)
• Transnational and postcolonial links to the North (West): colonial, imperial, and transatlantic contexts (e.g, Liverpool as a global port)
• Museums, archives, and collections: regional museums and the afterlives of nineteenth-century places
• Gendered, racialised, and marginalised spaces: who belongs, who is excluded, and how space is policed
• Landscape across disciplines: historical, literary, artistic, and creative engagements with the natural and industrial landscapes of the North (West) in the long nineteenth century
• The North (West) in popular culture, periodicals, visual culture, and performance
• Queer histories and queer readings of place, including non-normative identities & relationships

Please send abstracts of approximately 250 words (including title) for 10-15 minute papers, along with a short biography to ehu 19place@outlook.com by 1st May 2026, including name, preferred pronouns, and academic institution.

We are excited to have Dr Claire O'Callaghan giving a keynote address on Top Withens, Wuthering Heights and the impact of literary scholarship. As Dr O'Callagham is also the Editor-in-Chief of the Brontë Studies journal, she has kindly agreed to also run a workshop on publishing in an academic journal.

Given the conference's emphasis on 'place', we are excited to offer an in-person conference gathering in the North West and warmly welcome participants to join us here. However, we are also committed to accessibility needs and widening participation, so please indicate if you would prefer to present online in your application. Please also do let us know about any other access needs or adjustments that can make your experience easier.

📚❄️ Today’s EHU Nineteen Wintertime Read is one for the #ConsumingtheGothic #GothsAssemble crowd. MA student @abbiehope.bsky.social’s choice gives a whole new meaning to ‘Christmas dinner’!

HANNIBAL
Thomas Harris (1999)
I first watched the TV show in winter 2018 and read the book afterwards. So Hannibal Lecter is weirdly Christmassey for me. It adds a whole new spin to the concept of Christmas dinner - yikes!

022

EHUNineteen @ehunineteen.bsky.social · 15/12/2023

📚❄️ Our next EHU Nineteen Wintertime Read is an absolute classic, chosen by MA 19thC student @chloeroyle.bsky.social who is researching the world of the Girls Own Paper. 🗞️

LITTLE WOMEN
Louisa May Alcott (1868) *
I'm researching the Girls Own Paper
(1880-1956) so the sisterhood in Little Women feels like it's speaking to the same community of young women readers. It's so relatable and comforting. Even the bits that are set in summer feel festive to mel

052

EHUNineteen @ehunineteen.bsky.social · 13/12/2023

📚❄️ Our next EHU Nineteen Wintertime Read is Nancy Mitford’s ‘The Pursuit of Love’ - a scrumptious satire chosen by @victorianmasc.bsky.social

THE PURSUIT OF LOVE
Nancy Mitford (1945)
"When a child I spent my Christmas holidays at Alconleigh.." Mitford's scrumptious satire of 1930s society opens with the narrator recounting a series of disastrous Christmases spent at the draughty family manor of her cousins, the Radlets.

031

EHUNineteen @ehunineteen.bsky.social · 12/12/2023

📚❄️ EHU Nineteen Wintertime Reads. What’s Christmas without a ghost story? And our MA 19thC Studies student Orna has chosen a classic! What are your favourite ghost stories for Christmas?

THE WOMAN IN BLACK
Susan Hill (1983)
The Woman in Black is one of my favourites. There's something so haunting yet oddly comforting about a ghost story at Christmas!

EHUNineteen @ehunineteen.bsky.social · 11/12/2023

📚❄️ Kicking off week 2 of EHU Nineteen Wintertime Reads, and @digivictorian.bsky.social’s festive book choice is cracking us up! Yippee ki-yay!

NOTHING LASTS FOREVER
Roderick Thorpe (1979)
The novel that Die Hard is based on.
I confess I've never read this, but I know I want to get into an argument with someone about whether or not it's a Christmas book!"

📚❄️ EHU Nineteen Wintertime Reads #5. It's the weekend! Winter weekends are for mystery stories, and PhD Researcher @gracefmarks.bsky.social has chosen 13 of them in one brilliant volume by EHU19 favourites Serena K Patel and Robin Stevens.

THE VERY MERRY MURDER CLUB. By Serena Patel & Robin Stevens. Who doesnt love a good mystery story to put you in the festive spirit - and this collection has thirteen of them! I also adore Robin Stevens's Murder Most Unladylike, which I teach as part of Edge Hills Children's Literature module right before Christmas.

EHUNineteen @ehunineteen.bsky.social · 07/12/2023

📚❄️ EHU Nineteen Wintertime Reads #4. Today’s pick by Owen Farrington is nothing less than a superhero adaptation of Charles Dickens! You can hear more about it at Owen’s YouTube channel @owenlikescomics : youtu.be/Oa2GpDymNqU?...

BATMAN: NOËL
Lee Bermejo (2011)
A reimagining of Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol through the lens of DC's dark knight. Noël is a fascinating deconstruction of Batman's fictional and metatextual history, and a brilliant adaptation of one of the definitive Christmas tales!

054

EHUNineteen @ehunineteen.bsky.social · 06/12/2023

📚❄️ EHU Nineteen Wintertime Reads. Next up is @drbeard79.bsky.social’s choice and a … novel (?!) take on a children’s classic! 3/-

Andrew McInnes
MOG'S CHRISTMAS by
Judith Kerr (1976)
Ah, a classic tale of alienation (Mog the cat is bored in the lead up to Christmas because everyone is busy), horror (she is scared by the tree and weird guests), and mistaken identity (the cat tumbles down the chimney and is mistaken for Father Christmas).

030

EHUNineteen @ehunineteen.bsky.social · 05/12/2023

📚❄️ EHU Nineteen Wintertime Reads continues with Associate Head of English & Creative Arts, Deborah Chirrey’s choice: ‘The Dark is Rising’ (1973) by Susan Cooper. What’s a fantasy novel that feels wintry to you? 2/-

Deborah Chirrey. Associate Head of Department-English and Creative Arts. The Dark is Rising. 1973. Susan Cooper. A wonderful story of a young boy awaking at midwinter to discover that he is the last of the Old Ones, a powerful defender of the Light' against the Dark. Don't watch the film, though as it is a travesty!

Emma Butler Marr. EMMA. Jane Austen (1815). “I’m writing a PhD on Jane Austen and 19thC seaside resorts, but my first encounter with Austen was watching the 1996 film version of Emma over the Christmas break with my mum. Now we re-watch every festive season!”
