Magee College, University of Ulster, Londonderry

This international symposium, co-sponsored by the College of Arts at the University of Guelph and the Institute of Ulster Scots Studies at the University of Ulster, will bring together scholars examining the economic, social, cultural and political histories of tourism in Scotland and Ireland. We invite papers on any aspect of tourism history in districts of Scotland and/or the nine counties of Ulster. We welcome research that highlights tourism history in either or both of these places using comparative approaches, as well as papers that situate and explore Scottish and Ulster tourism history within broader international contexts.

Drafts of papers will be required one month in advance of the conference date, to circulate to participants and commentators.

The deadline for 300-word paper abstracts is Friday 16 November 2007. Please send them, preferably by email, along with a one-page c.v., to:
