GUDTP Annual Conference | Registration Now Open
All GUDTP scholars are warmly invited to attend our flagship annual event, the GUDTP Annual Conference.
A celebration of the excellent and innovative research conducted by our scholars, this two-day conference offers a kaleidoscopic view of your diverse methodological approaches and the wide range of your research interests. Unlike most academic conferences, which bring together experts in one field, or public engagement opportunities that require translating your research for a public audience, our annual conference is a unique opportunity for you to address an interdisciplinary but highly skilled and engaged audience, benefit from the fresh perspective of others, get inspired by their work, and find out how much you have in common (or not). It is an opportunity to connect with your peers across institutions, departments, and research pathways; forge new collaborations and even friendships.
With many thanks to those who have submitted an abstract, we are looking forward to meeting you there. We expect all GUDTP scholars to attend, regardless of whether you are presenting or not.
If you are on fieldwork, in an overseas institutional visit, or on placement at the time of the conference, please consider participating by posting about your experience in our LinkedIn group.
Keynote Speakers
President of the British Academy
Warden of Nuffield College, Oxford

Food, Fun, and Practicalities
To socialise in good spirit and collectively enjoy the unique historic environment of Oxford, we have booked three different venues for this event, featuring lovely gardens and architectural masterpieces from gothic revival to brutalism. Lunches and refreshments will be provided on both days and all attendees are welcome to join us for dinner on Tuesday evening.
To avoid waste, we have a strict policy of registration with commitment to attend for the dinner. Cancelations within the last 48hours will be charged at £50.
The GUDTP will provide accommodation for attendees from the Open University and Brunel University of London upon request. Free accommodation is not available for Oxford students.
