Such work has focused in particular on manifestations of the neo-Victorian on page and on screen; this conference seeks to build on but also expand these debates by bringing together writers, practitioners and researchers working on the lasting presence of the Victorians since 1901 in a wide variety of realms, ranging from art and architecture to science, politics, economics, fiction and film. In doing so, the event aims to further expand the vibrant field of neo-Victorian studies both within and beyond the arts and humanities through an examination of the Victorians\u2019 continuing influence on twentieth and twenty-first century culture. We therefore welcome and encourage abstracts from postgraduate students, academics and independent researchers from all academic realms in the hope of capturing the diverse work being done on Victorian afterlives across a wide spectrum of disciplines and across traditional disciplinary boundaries.<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\">Topics may include, but are by no means limited to, the following:<\/span><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\">the ethics, politics and aesthetics of adaptation<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\">the gender and sexual politics of neo-Victorianism<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\">neo-Victorianism&nbsp;on page, screen and canvas<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\">neo-Victorian&nbsp;subcultures<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\">the Victorians in contemporary architecture, art and design<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\">neo-Victorian&nbsp;journalism\/ the Victorian press and contemporary journalism<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\">the&nbsp;Victorians in contemporary science and medicine<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\">the&nbsp;neo-Victorian canon<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\">teaching neo-Victorianism<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\">the neo-Victorian marketplace; consuming and marketing the (neo-)Victorians<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\">Steampunk<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\"><o:p><\/o:p><\/span>  <\/p>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\">Presentations should take the form of 20-minute papers.
