ALT This faith each day deeper be my holding of; daily make me harder hope and dearer love. St Thomas Aquinas, trans. Gerard Manley Hopkins SJ Image: light from stained glass windows refracted on the interior of a church.
ALT A graphic with white text on a green background reading: “EVENT 2024 is an experiment in sustainable global conferencing, including monthly Zoom events, face-to-face hub events in September, and the asynchronous discussion of uploaded papers on COVE Conferences. All talks that explore the period 1832-1910 will be considered, though we encourage reflection on our theme, “event,” which can be interpreted broadly. Submit proposals by Feb 1, 2024. Submit your proposal using the form at event2024.org/call-for-papers.” Full cfp available at that link as well.
![An infographic with a light blue background and white irregular oval shapes with black text. The title reads “Why cut back on long-haul flights?” The body text reads:
“If the global aviation sector were treated as a nation, it would have been the sixth-largest source of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from energy consumption in 2015.” [1]
The United Nations’ ICAO “expects CO2 emissions from international aviation to approximately triple by 2050 if current trends hold.” [1]
"The climate effect of non-CO2 emissions from aviation is much greater than the equivalent from other modes of transport, as these non-CO2 greenhouse gases formed at higher altitudes persist for longer than at the surface and also have a stronger warming potential," and “longer flights are at higher altitude.” [2]

ALT An infographic with a green color scheme with the following text: What is Event 2024? A new model of hybrid conference reducing long-haul flights & lowering the carbon footprint of academic knowledge exchange. Climate conscious – A typical 350-person conference requires the equivalent of an entire year’s carbon footprint of about 100 average world citizens. This model drastically reduces that. International – 17 hubs around the world allow for in-person conferencing, while our asynchronous component allows for collaboration across different time zones. Accessible – Participate virtually or locally. Cost-prohibitive travel and hotel stays are not required. COVE facilitates accessibility copies for all participants. Collaborative – Multiple Victorian studies organizations coming together for one conference allows for expanded knowledge sharing and networking.
