Our Research & Projects

Take a look at some of the latest research projects within the Centre.

TALKING BODIES, an international, interdisciplinary conference, has, since its inaugural event in 2013, hosted scholars, specialists, practitioners, artists, researchers, and postgraduate students from around the world, and from a wide range of disciplines, in Chester. In addition to conference presentations, there are exhibitions; performances; a small marketplace with  book and craft stalls; our legendary feminist pub quiz; a vegetarian conference banquet; workshops; a ‘chill out’ quiet zone, and much, much more!

As in previous years, registration will operate on a sliding scale and we hope to have two full bursaries available, as in 2019. If you’re on our email list, you’ll be notified when  registration opens. Please note that there are no funds available to subsidise any delegates’ costs.

The first three Talking Bodies volumes are out now.

All conference queries should be addressed to Prof Emma Rees: talkingbodies@chester.ac.uk
