This Tuesday (23rd), the British Library in London is hosting a seminar entitled The British Ibsen to mark the centenary of the death of the Norwegian dramatist Henrik Ibsen. The afternoon (1600) seminar will explore the theme of Ibsen in the UK. The speakers will be Professor Tore Rem from Oslo University, Professor Gunilla Anderman from University of Surrey Guildford and the novelist and critic Paul Binding. It will be held at Saint Pancras Conference Centre (4 St Pancras Way, London). I’m really disappointed to not be able to make it but if there’s anyone who will be going along and would be willing to share their notes/thoughts about it with me I’d be really keen to hear from you.
The other conference that I wanted to mention (and which I am planning to attend) is the FEET (Fellowship of European Evangelical Theologians) Conference. It’s a biennial event and this year it’s in the awesome city of Prague. Date: August 4th-8th. The theme is Reconciliation Vertical and Horizontal Dimensions. Leaflets can be downloaded here and a fuller programme here. Speakers include Henri Blocher, Pierre Berthoud, Herbert Klement, Torsten Uhlig, I. Howard Marshall, Ian Randall, Max Turner, Mark Seifrid, Stephen Holmes, Oliver Crisp, Jan Ligus, Pavel Hosek, Peter Kuzmic, Johannes Reimer, Sylvain Romerovski, Gie Vleugels, Jan Henzel, Mark Elliott, Peter Penner, and Johannes Reimer. It looks like it will be most worthwhile. If you’re a fellow blogger and are planning to attend, it might be good to meet up too. Imagine that, a real face and not just aURL!
