Sponsored by the International Society for the Study of Narrative, the International Conference on Narrative is an interdisciplinary forum addressing all dimensions of narrative theory and practice. We welcome proposals for papers and panels on all aspects of narrative in any genre, period, discipline, language, and medium; papers, however, should be in English. Organizers are particularly interested in discussions connected to the topic “Narratives in the Public Sphere."

Building on the success of the 2022 conference, the 2023 International Conference on Narrative conference will follow a fully synchronous hybrid format. Presentations included in any panel may be either online or onsite. All sessions will be live streamed, recorded, and made available to registrants for one month following the conference. Please indicate your preference for online or onsite participation now; we recognize that plans may change, we will request your reconfirmation during registration.

All participants must join the International Society for the Study of Narrative (subscribing to Narrative includes membership in the ISSN): https://www.press.jhu.edu/cart/for-sale?oc=2822 before the conference. General inquiries can be directed to narrativeconference2023@gmail.com. Submissions will close on December 5.
