About Spring OSLC
Spring OSLC 2027 is the Spring Oxford Symposium on Literature & Culture, a humanities symposium. It takes place on 22 March 2027 in Oxford University, United Kingdom. Full papers are due 7 February 2027.
The Oxford Symposium on Literature and Culture is a dynamic platform for scholars, researchers, and literature enthusiasts to present papers and engage in thought-provoking discourse on the ever-evolving world of literary studies. With a focus on the theory, practice, and cultural impact of literature, this Symposium embraces a broad definition of literary research, encompassing diverse perspectives, genres, and historical contexts.
We invite you to present your research and lead a discussion on a topic of your choice, or participate as an engaged observer. Presentations should be based on an abstract of approximately 250 words, approved by the Symposium’s Programme Committee.
You are also encouraged to submit a full paper, in keeping with your abstract, which may be published in an appropriate journal or book of conference proceedings. All papers presented for publication or inclusion in books or sponsored journals will be subject to peer review by external readers

Topics of interest
Before you submit
- Read the full call for papers — page limits, template (IEEE, ACM, LNCS …) and whether review is double-blind.
- Deadlines are usually 23:59 Anywhere on Earth (AoE) — convert to Bangladesh time (UTC+6) and aim to submit a day early.
- At least one author normally has to register and present; budget for the fee and, for in-person events, a visa appointment well before the conference.
- Look for student travel grants and volunteer programmes — most large conferences run both, with deadlines soon after notification.
