LAPASEC 2027
The Conference
We are delighted to host the LAPASEC 2027 conference in Essen from 2-4 April, 2027. LAPASEC has long been familiar to many eighteenth-century scholars as a well-loved series of French-German conferences. Its primary focus is the literature and culture of the British Isles in the long eighteenth century, but it is also open to eighteenth-century topics relating to France, Germany and further afield. The conference used to alternate between Landau and Paris (hence LAPASEC = Landau-Paris Symposia on the Eighteenth Century). For more information on LAPASEC, please click here.
This Year's Topic: Industry and Idleness: Labour, Luxury and the British Empire in the Long Eighteenth Century
Organisers
LAPASEC 2027 is organised by its Essen-Duisburg hosts Christoph Heyl, Anjali Rampersad and Christian Feser as well as Rémy Duthille and Tristan Coignard from the Université Bordeaux Montaigne.
