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. Past

expectation in Ambridge housing pathways

•	Heavy Petting: An examination of Metaphoric Relationships with Pets • 
Cider with Grundy, On Orchards and the Commonplace in Ambridge

•	After the Flood: how can Ambridge residents develop resilience to 
future flooding?

This list is not meant to be proscriptive, 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 as well as 
national and global rural issues. The conference is intended to give 
fans of The Archers a platform to exercise their love of the programme 
and their subject area and submissions for consideration are welcomed 
from those within academia and professional sectors, those working and 
retired and those with specialist knowledge of The Archers.
If you are a fellow The 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 18th May 2018, indicating 
if you are proposing a paper (15 minutes), Quick Pitch (5 minutes) or 
poster (print and digital). Please submit this as a Word attachment. 
Programming will be determined by an Academic Archers peer review panel 
and will be communicated by 4th July 2018.
