Join the Frankenstein's Shadow Symposium in Geneva, June 2016

No work of literature has done more to shape the way humans imagine science and its consequences than Frankenstein (1818), Mary Shelley's enduring tale of creation and responsibility.

On June 14 and 15, 2016, the Brocher Foundation, Arizona State University, Duke University, and the University of Lausanne will host "Frankenstein's Shadow," a symposium in Geneva, Switzerland to commemorate the origin of Frankenstein and assess its influence in different times and cultures.

We invite applications for a funded opportunity to participate in the symposium, alongside approximately 25 scholars from institutions around the world. We will give preference to early-career researchers in relevant fields. All allowable, workshop-related travel expenses will be covered.

Deadline for applications: May 2, 2016.
