The 2025 conference of the Katherine Mansfield Society will re-examine the importance of place in Mansfield’s writings, while also asking: how do we ‘place’ Mansfield today? How do we situate her work in current critical conversations and against new scholarly debates?

There is an option when booking to pay a £5 deposit to confirm attendance at the conference dinner at Chung Ying Cantonese restaurant, Wednesday 2 July.

Please Note: You will pay the remainder of your dinner cost on the evening
