Welcome to Scerrg
The South Coast Eighteenth-Century and Romantic Research Group (SCERRG) was founded in 2009 to promote academic research into all aspects of the long eighteenth century. The group aims to facilitate interdisciplinary debate and discussion between researchers and students in the region’s academic institutions. It holds and advertises a range of events, including academic seminars, conferences, postgraduate fora, and public events.
In addition, the group will develop a number of publication projects and research initiatives, drawing on the expertise of scholars of the long eighteenth century in this region and nationally.
CALL FOR PAPERS
In particular, we would like to draw your attention to a call for papers, ' Romantic Women Writers and the Fictions of History', a special issue of the journal Women's Writing - for further information, please see the research page.
The Group will also encourage dialogue amongst the South Coast postgraduate community. The first postgraduate event is a one-day forum on 'Women, History and Sexuality'. For more information, see the postgraduate page.
The group was launched by the University of Chichester, in partnership with Chawton House and the universities of Kent, Portsmouth, Southampton, and Winchester. It will also prove of interest to scholars, students and members of the general public who wish to advertise or attend events relating to the study of the long eighteenth century.
