We are delighted to bring the Annual Virginia Woolf Conference back to the UK and to two sites – King’s College London and the University of Sussex – with such strong Woolfian connections.

Opening Event, King's College London - 4 July

The pre-conference events will be held at King’s College London on Friday 4 July, including a visit to the King’s Archives and a panel discussion on ‘Virginia Woolf: Creative Engagements’ with contemporary writers and artists speaking about their multi-media engagements with Woolf’s writing. Our confirmed speakers include Jo Hamya, Olivia Laing, and Kabe Wilson.

34th Annual International Conference on Virginia Woolf, University of Sussex - 5-8 July

On Saturday 5 July the conference proper will open for registration at the University of Sussex, where we are delighted to be joined by our keynote speakers Professor Madelyn Detloff and Professor Anne Fernald.

We are planning an exciting programme of events, including a performance of Between the Acts, events to mark the centenary of Mrs Dalloway, a conversation with Kim Jones and Charlie Porter, and a house tour and banquet at Charleston. There will also be a post-conference visit to Monk’s House, as well as the option of trips to local exhibitions.
