[ecrea] CfP: Third Academic Archers conference, London Feb 2018

Call for Papers: The Archers in fact and fiction: Academic analyses of 
life in rural Borsetshire

Dr Cara Courage and Dr Nicola Headlam invite the submission of abstracts 
to the third Academic Archers conference, to be held on 17th February 
2018 at The British Library, London.
The one-day conference will feature a number of 15 minutes papers, as 
well as 5 minute Quick Pitches and posters, around the programme and 
issues contained therein, of BBC Radio4’s The Archers.
Submissions are invited from any academic discipline and subjects might 
include but are by no means limited to: •	Queer perspectives on life in 
Ambridge •	Rural housing development – who benefits? • 
Entrepreneurialism in rural communities •	Politics and protest – ‘right 
to the field’ in Borsetshire •	Brexit & Ambridge, what future post CAP?
•	Gender, class and cricket in the village
•	What is a gossip? Gendered approaches to info sharing
•	Intergenerational justice in Ambridge
•	Greenwashing Ambridge, from eco-warriors to biodiversity accountants?

This list is not meant to be exclusive or exhaustive, but is meant to 
inspire you to think how your academic research, sector professional 
expertise or listener forensic knowledge of The Archers can illuminate 
and explain life in Ambridge and Borsetshire. The day is intended to 
give fans of The Archers a platform to exercise their love of the 
programme and their subject area.
If you are a fellow Archers fan and/or academic please submit your 
abstract of 200 words with a short biography to both 
(cara /at/ caracourage.net) and (headlams /at/ gmail.com) by 28th July, indicating if 
you are proposing a paper, Quick Pitch or poster. Please submit this as 
a Word attachment. Programming will be determined by an Academic Archers 
panel and will be communicated by mid-September.
