2024 Annual Conference
The 2024 HOTCUS annual conference will be hosted by the University of Southampton, between the 19-21 June 2024. The plenary speaker will be Randall J. Stephens, Professor of American and British Studies at the University of Oslo, whose keynote is titled “‘Socialism has been steadily battering at our gates’: The Roosevelt Administration and Religion in the Dust Bowl.” As in previous years, the plenary speaker will host the PGR/ECR workshop on the first day of the conference where PhD students and Early Careers Researchers can present and receive feedback on chapters, articles, or detailed research proposals.
The HOTCUS Conference Dinner 2024 will take place on the Thursday evening, following our keynote address from Prof. Randall Stephens.
Please note that anyone hoping to attend the dinner must register and pay in advance, as attendance at the meal is not included in the main conference registration cost.
