Me too!
I would particularly love to see interdisciplinary papers, working across the boundaries of art, architectural, and literary history, medical humanities/litsci stuff etc.

We define "literature and science" very broadly and welcome proposals related to science, ecology, medicine, technology, mathematics and more. Past themes include: Queer Ecologies, the Subterranean Anthropocene, and Decolonising Literature and Science.

Running the Winter Symposium can be a great way to get experience in event organisation, to meet other literature and science scholars, or to jump start a project on your chosen theme.
