The culmination of the research dialogue will be a one-day conference showcasing emerging original inter-disciplinary research in this field from both within and outside the university. We invite submissions for papers of no more than 20 minutes showcasing original research examining notions and practices of care from all historic periods and disciplines. We particularly welcome interdisciplinary approaches that utilise archaeological evidence alongside other sources. Abstracts should be no more than 500 words, and should be submitted to careinthepast@gmail.com.

The deadline for submissions is the 20th July 2012. The authors of accepted papers will be notified by the 3rd August.

We will also welcome the submission of poster presentations along the themes of the conference. Abstracts should be no more than 250 words.
