The Humanities Conference and its associated Journal provides a space
for dialogue and for the publication of new knowledge which builds on
the past traditions of the humanities whilst setting a renewed agenda
for their future.

Main speakers include Alparslan Acikgenc, Fatih University, Istanbul;
Patrick Baert, University of Cambridge; Alice Craven, American
University of Paris; Talat Halman, Bilkent University; and Ilber
Ortayli, President of the Topkapi Palace Museum. The Conference will
also include numerous paper, workshop and colloquium presentations by
practitioners, teachers and researchers. We would particularly like to
invite you to respond to the Conference Call-for-Papers. Presenters may
choose to submit written papers for publication in the fully refereed
International Journal of New Directions in the Humanities. If you are
unable to attend the Conference in person, virtual registrations are
also available which allow you to submit a paper for refereeing and
possible publication the Journal, as well as access to the electronic
version of the Conference proceedings.

The deadline for the next round in the call for papers (a title and
short abstract) is 31 March 2008. Proposals are reviewed within four
weeks of submission. Full details of the Conference, including an online
proposal submission form, are to be found at the Conference website -
