NB: there is a very late correction to the conference program. As we just learned, Winter Time started last weekend in Europe but only starts this weekend on the US East Coast, so the time difference between Pittsburgh and continental Europe is now 5 hours rather than 6. Which means we have to move the program one hour on one side of the Atlantic. After a quick deliberation we decided to make sessions start one hour later in EST (Pittsburgh) time. If you are in Europe, scheduled hours remain the same. All times given below are correct.
We are delighted to announce that the FULL PROGRAM with the book of abstracts of The Making of the Humanities X conference is available and can be downloaded here. Note that the conference will be held online from November 3-5, during the afternoons in Europe and during the mornings in the US (see below).
Information for presenters and chairs: each regular talk is allotted 30 minutes consisting of 20 minutes presentation and 10 minutes discussion. Panels may be divided up differently, to be decided by the chair. Please make sure that you are online (via zoom) at least 5 minutes before the start of your session. See also our program booklet for further information.
