An update on the XVII David Nichol Smith Seminar in Eighteenth-Century Studies.

To all our delegates: a quick note to let you know that the organising committee are currently considering options in conjunction with the ANZSECS executive. We will be in touch with some news later this month. Thanks for your patience - and stay safe and well.

An update: notices of acceptance have been sent - what a great line-up! - but as mentioned in those emails, the committee has decided to put a hold on preparations and monitor the COVID-19 situation for a little longer. Stay safe and healthy, and watch this space. #DNS2020.

Thanks to all who have proposed papers and panels for #DNS2020 - a very exciting line-up! The committee will meet soon, and we'll be in touch shortly afterwards. But if you still have half a mind to submit an abstract feel free to send it in: dns2020@flinders.edu.au.
