Scottish Church History Autumn Conference

The call for papers is now open for the Scottish Church History Society's autumn conference, which will be held on Saturday 23 November 2024. This will be a hybrid event run from Edinburgh Theological Seminary. Speakers and attendees will have the option of being online or in-person.

We are delighted that Professor Colin Kidd (University of St Andrews) will be our keynote speaker. Professor Kidd's paper is entitled:

‘The Forms and Flavours of Scottish Ecclesiastical Satire, 1680-1830’

We are looking for short, twenty-minute papers on any theme relating to Scottish church history. If you are interested in sharing some of your own research in this area, please send a 250 word abstract with a short biographical note to [email protected] by Monday 14 October. We welcome proposals from postgraduate students, early career researchers, and independent or established scholars. No one period will receive precedence; proposals will be assessed according to their novelty and appeal. Interdisciplinary approaches are also encouraged - art, economic, gender, intellectual, legal, literary, political, and social historians are very welcome to apply. Please specify whether you intend to deliver your paper in-person or remotely when you submit your abstract.
Online attendance is priced at £5; in-person tickets will cost £10 (full price) or £5 (student/unwaged) and includes the cost of tea/coffee and a sandwich lunch. Please go to our Eventbrite page to book tickets.

The full programme will be announced shortly after the call for papers closes.
