CALL FOR PAPERS

On Friday, 23 October 2026, an interdisciplinary student conference on the topic of The Odyssey: Adaptations, Afterlives, Female Agency will take place here at the University of Bamberg. We will explore the ancient Odyssey and its modern legacy, particularly in German and English literature. The conference aims to provide a platform for student papers that engage with the dynamics of adapting myths, female agency, and the potential of gender and queer studies in the proliferation of classical myths and narratives.

We cordially invite you to participate with a 15-minute presentation or an academic poster (in German or English). Please email us your proposals by 25 July 2026. All further information as well as contact details for submission can be found HERE(403.6 KB).

We are happy to answer any questions and look forward to receiving your proposals!

The Organisation Commitee: Alicia Fuchs (German Studies), Marie Kluge (English and American Studies), and Jakob Lenz (Greek Studies)
