SUMMARY:The Thirty-First Oxford Conference for the Book
DESCRIPTION:The Oxford Conference for the Book is a three-day gathering inaugurated in 1993 and held annually\, except in 1997 and 2020. The event takes place in Oxford and on the campus of the University of Mississippi. Since its inauguration\, the conference has celebrated books\, writing\, and reading\, and has also dealt with practical concerns on which the literary arts and the humanities depend\, including literacy\, freedom of expression\, and the book trade itself. Beginning in 1999\, the conference has been open to the public without charge. \nThe Thirty-First Oxford Conference for the Book will take place on April 2\, 3\, and 4\, 2025 with events on the UM campus (University of Mississippi Museum\, Memory House\, Overby Center for Southern Journalism and Politics\, and Nutt Auditorium) and in the town of Oxford (Off Square Books\, Southside Gallery\, Lafayette County and Oxford Public Library\, and the Powerhouse). We will have readings\, panels\, music performances\, and book signings.
