The Society for the Study of French History held its 29th Annual Conference at the University of St Andrews from 28-30 June 2015. Hosted by the Centre for French History and Culture, the conference theme was Turning Points in French History. This theme was chosen for the plenary sessions because of the number of significant anniversaries that fall in 2015 (1415 Azincourt, 1515 Accession of François Ier, 1615 Closing of the Estates General until 1789, 1715 Death of Louis XIV and accession of Louis XV, 1815 End of Napoleonic era, 1940 Fall of France).

There were three plenary sessions, comprising a plenary each on the Monday afternoon by:

  • Professor David Bell (Princeton University)
  • Professor Alice Conklin (Ohio State University)

And a plenary round table on the Tuesday morning of the conference, featuring:

  • Professor Olivier Chaline (Université Paris IV)
  • Professor Máire Cross (University of Newcastle)
  • Professor Penny Roberts (University of Warwick)
