Conferences

The Society holds regular conferences as its major activity. Since 2015, conferences have been held on a biennial basis.

Part of every conference is the Dyason Lecture by an eminent scholar, and the Langham Prizes for the best conference presentation by a postgraduate student.

The most recent conference was held in Wellington, New Zealand from conference 13–15 November 2019. The programme for this conference can be downloaded here.
