Borders and Crossings 2023 is part of a long-running series of international conferences devoted to the interdisciplinary study of travel writing.
This year’s event takes place at the University of Łódź and is organised by Joanna Kruczkowska (University of Łódź) and Ross Cameron (University of Glasgow).
The Borders and Crossings conference series was first hosted in Derry in 1998 by Glenn Hooper and Tim Youngs and has since taken place on a regular basis. Borders and Crossings has played a catalytic role in the development of travel writing studies as it provides a forum for scholars across a range of disciplines and from wide variety of national contexts to meet regularly, to explore an increasingly rich corpus of travel writing from across a wide range of periods, and to debate its importance to the Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences.
