An interdisciplinary conference will be hosted at Queen Mary, University of London to mark the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War.

The parties presently involved are the School of Languages Linguistics and Film (QMUL); the School of History (QMUL); the Leo Baeck Institute (London); the Centre for Anglo-German Cultural Relations (QMUL); and the German Department (UCL).

Keynote speakers will include:

It is intended that the conference be truly international and interdisciplinary.
