Order and Chaos: Vernon Lee and the Politics of Disruption

School of the Arts Library

1-3 September 2026

A radical breakdown of trust in institutions across government, media, education, religion— is currently gripping Western Europe and the US. Among much else, freedom of thought the right of assembly, personal/medical rights, gender preference and expression, efforts to save the environment—all are under attack throughout the world. This conference aims to explore the political questions and challenges we face today through the lens that Vernon Lee brought to the same kind of challenges in her time: a lens that is simultaneously thought-provoking, curious, playful, radical, and multidisciplinary.Please note - if you are in receipt of a pre-arranged fee waiver, please click that option for both the conference fee and the dinner, but not otherwise.
