The Society is a
European federation of national higher educational associations for the
study of English. The Society endeavours to reflect the cultural and
geographical diversity of Europe in its institutions.
The aim of the Society is to advance the education of the public by
promoting the European study and understanding of English languages,
literatures in English and cultures of English-speaking peoples.
(Read more about the aims and purposes of
ESSE).
Professor Carmelo
Cunchillos, Professor of English Literature at the University of La
Rioja passed away on 9th April 2010 in Logroño, aged 61.
He had served ESSE on the Executive as Treasurer from 1996 to 2002,
leaving many happy memories of his inimitably wonderful company.
The members of the ESSE Executive send their condolences to his wife
and family on this sad occasion.

European
Journal of English Studies - Call for Papers Amend
We hope you have had chance to peruse the EJES Call for Papers leaflet
which was sent to all ESSE members in March earlier this year. We would
however like to draw your attention to a small typo in the call for
papers for the special issue 'Dislocations and Ecologies', where guest
editor Alexa Weik's email address was incorrectly listed. Please note
that her correct address for all inquiries and proposals is
<alexa.weik@unifr.ch>.
If you did not receive the leaflet and would like to find out more,
please visit http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/cfp/nejecfp.pdf
