This one-day symposium will explore where the discipline of print culture studies is heading and reflect on how studying publishing and book history contexts – from the 19th century to the present day – alters the nature of, or provides new insights into traditional disciplines.  It will bring to together established academics and PhD students with interests in publishing studies, the history of the book, literary and cultural history, and the digital humanities.
