The lists of creators and forms below were compiled by the steering group at our initial meeting in York. These are no means comprehensive – in particular, we acknowledge biases towards Britain and the literary that we would by no means wish to limit the range of proposals submitted to the conference. We publish these here as starting points rather than as summations and would be very keen to make additions, particularly those that address individuals and topics traditionally underrepresented in scholarly examinations.
