The Catholic Women Writers Project discovers and republishes work by women writers of the Catholic Literary Revival, whose writing and theology have long been overshadowed by more famous figures in the movement such as Evelyn Waugh and Graham Greene. The Women Religious Project explores the work of these women in war torn societies and seeks to document their accounts and lived experience of conflict resolution and peace building, which has been largely ignored by mainstream histories. The conference aims to continue dialogue in these areas and also to open out this groundbreaking research to seek comparisons in other historical periods, across other denominations, faiths, races, nationalities, and cultures - to explore other voices whose contribution to religious discussion in literature and culture has been forgotten or ignored.  Registration is free. A sandwich lunch will be provided, as will refreshments throughout the day. Please note, however, that delegates will need to fund their own evening meal.
