The English Association is proud to be one of the organisers of this major discipline-wide conference.
What is E:SF?
An academic conference with a festival feel English: Shared Futures (E:SF) is the largest event for academics in English literature, language and creative writing. It is run by the major organisations of the discipline: the English Association (EA) and University English (UE), and supported by the National Association of Writers in Education (NAWE) with Institute of English Studies (IES) and National Association for the Teaching of English (NATE).
What is E:SF ONLINE?
In response to the COVID pandemic lockdown, we moved our 2020 conference online. You can find all the conference sessions on the E:SF website, and each month we add new digital resources such as interviews, podcasts, and poetry readings from small UK-based presses.
What are E:SF satellite events?
Satellite events are action-focused mini-conferences that arise from the main E:SF conference. Each satellite event produces a collection of resources that you can refer to, including presentation slides, videos, and suggested reading.
