Conference: ‘Under an African summer’s sun’ Re-mapping the Brontës: Place, Race and Empire
Join us at our 2025 Brontë Society Conference in Bradford on Saturday September 6 as it celebrates UK City of Culture.
A wide-ranging conference programme spans everything from the Brontës’ Irish identity, to polar landscapes, racialisation, ‘the Question of China’, Africa in the juvenilia and more. We’re also delighted to welcome Professor Corinne Fowler, Professor of Colonialism and Heritage at the University of Leicester, as our keynote speaker.
You can choose to attend the conference in person or online. A Zoom link will be sent to online delegates in September.

The deadline for conference registration is Sunday, 10 August.
