This unique (for the Society!) format has one distinct advantage over an in-person meeting: with no travel required, anyone can register for the symposium and attend any (or all) of the sessions over three days (12-14 July 2021).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Events include traditional scholarly panels; Reading Groups on specific pieces of Dickens\u2019s short fiction, led by Emily Bell, Melisa Klimaszewski, and Dominic Rainsford; roundtables on Digital Humanities and Dickens, Dickens and Theatre, and Dickens and Pandemic; breakout sessions on determining new directions in Dickens Studies in 2021, Dickensian pubs, Dickensian characters, and scholarly resources for the study of Dickens; a special Tea with Dickens session arranged by Lydia Craig; and a\u2014ahem\u2014dramatic performance by a motley crew calling themselves the Dickens Society Players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The complete program can be found on the\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/dickenssociety.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Dickens Society homepage<\/a>, and attendees may register ($15\/$20 for unsalaried\/salaried) by using\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eventbrite.com\/e\/the-26th-annual-dickens-society-symposium-tickets-153976276187\" target=\"_blank\">our Eventbrite link<\/a>.
