The annual RSVP conference, ‘Place in the Victorian Press’, will take place from 13-15 June 2024, with conference panels running throughout the day on the 14^th and 15^th June and registration and an opening reception on the 13^th. We expect 100-150 speakers and attendees.

As part of the international, flightless conference Event 2024 <https://www.event2024.org/>, “Victorian Events” at Stirling is a hub for in-person papers, panels and roundtables, co-organised with the Scottish Centre for Victorian and Neo-Victorian Studies. Papers can focus on an aspect of “the event” in Victorian culture, including, but not limited to: exhibits, exhibitions and openings; performances; tourism and international visits; imperial events; publishing and literary events; scandals and sensations; religious gatherings and forms of devotion; protests and gatherings/ anniversaries, wakes, jubilees, and centenaries. Keynote lectures will be delivered by Professor Churnjeet Mahn (University of Strathclyde) and Dr Michelle Foot (University of Edinburgh).
