The three days of the Anglo-Catalan Society Annual Conference will feature around 30 activities, mostly blocks of short talks on various subjects given by professors and researchers at various universities in Catalonia and the United Kingdom: “Peace and conflicte”, “Applied Linguistics”, “Resistance during Franco’s Regime”, “Sociolinguistics”, “Gender and Cultural Expression”, “Approaches to Poetry”, “Other Landscapes”, “Framing the Republic”, “Architecture and History”, “Literary Theory and Practice” and “Performance and Drama”.

One of the highlights is the ‘RIMAT’ (Readings in Memory of Arthur Terry) poetry recital given by Sebastià Alzamora, responsible for closing the ceremonies.

The Anglo-Catalan Society was founded in Oxford in 1954 to promote the knowledge and appreciation of Catalan culture in the British Isles and to develop cultural relations between both communities. The association is a professional forum for those involved in Catalan studies, and is open to anyone who shares its founding missions.
