The Long Nineteenth Century Colloquium at Northwestern seeks to foster interdisciplinary approaches to the study of 19th- and 20th-century British culture, society, and history by encouraging conversation, collaboration, and comparativism across departmental and institutional lines.
The Colloquium hosts a speaker and workshop series on a range of topics dealing with Britain and its empire from the early years of the 19th century until the end of the first World War.
The public is encouraged to attend any and all events hosted by the Colloquium, many of which enjoy support from Northwestern's Art History and English Departments. The Colloquium is made possible by a generous grant from the Alice Kaplan Institute for the Humanities at Northwestern University.
Affiliated Departments include:
The Northwestern Department of Art History
