A two-day conference tracing new developments in global poetry performance research

13th-14th June 2025
University of Vienna, Austria and Literaturhaus Wien, Austria

Note from the organisers regarding current events in Austria:
On Tuesday, 10 June 2025, a shooter entered a secondary school in Graz, Austria. At least ten people, nine of whom were students between 15 and 17 years old, were killed, while eleven others were injured. Five of them remain in a critical condition.
We are shocked and devastated at this news. Our thoughts are with the families, friends, and communities of those who lost their lives, or are still fighting for them, in Graz.
