British Participation in International Conferences, 1914-1991

This workshop intends to start meaningful conversations about British involvement in international conferences in the short twentieth century.

From the emergence of liberal internationalism in the post-Great War period to the end of the Cold War, international conferences seemingly emerged as the modus operandi of political, social, and cultural movements in this period; from the most powerful institutions to burgeoning grassroots movements, international conferences punctuated the timeline of so many historical narratives of the short twentieth century.

We look forward to hearing fascinating papers, a thought-provoking keynote, and an interactive roundtable.
