Keynote by Dr Lucy-Anne Katgely: ‘By a Lady: Branding, Collective Authorship, and the Politics of Mediocrity’.
The 2026 WSG Annual Workshop will take place at The Foundling Museum, 40 Brunswick Square, London WC1N 1AZ. Doors will open at 10:00 for Registration and we plan to finish the workshop by 16:30. A buffet lunch & refreshments will be provided.
The workshop will commence at 10:30 with the Keynote by Dr Lucy-Anne Katgely, Lecturer at St John’s College, Oxford. Her Keynote will be followed by a Q & A discussion and then lunch.
In the afternoon delegates are invited to give a 5-10 minute presentation on their current research or interests, ideally but not necessarily related to the workshop theme. You may use up to 3 PowerPoint slides to illustrate your talk, as long as these are emailed at least a day in advance to Trudie Messent via 2wsgevents@gmail.com. Please also bring the slides on your own memory stick, just in case. You can also email digital flyers or handouts to this address which will be circulated to delegates after the Workshop.
This year the workshop is FREE to WSG members, including the lunch and refreshments. However, members must reserve a place by emailing 2wsgevents@gmail.com so we can arrange catering. You are also permitted to visit the Foundling Museum for free on the day if you explain you are attending the WSG event.
Friends, colleagues and non-members are also welcome. The price for workshop registration is £20 per adult or £15 for unfunded students and people not in employment. Note that our annual UK subscription rates are £18 (waged); and £15 (unwaged or student) and our overseas rates are even lower (£15/£12). So this may be a great opportunity to join WSG instead! Find out about membership here.
Non-WSG members can pay for the Workshop by bank transfer or by cheque. Payment details will be emailed to any non-members who request to attend.
We hope you can join us to discuss this fascinating topic. Please email 2wsgevents@gmail.com if you would like to attend, no later than Saturday 11 April.
