International Auto/Biography Association Europe (Web)
IABA Europe (Web) is an informal network hosted by VU University Amsterdam, the Netherlands, founded here at the conference ‘Life Writing in Europe’ in 2009. It aims to foster the participation of European scholars within the International Auto/Biography Association (IABA) by organizing biannual conferences, publishing an open access e-journal: the European Journal of Life Writing, and facilitating contacts through this website.
The International Auto/Biography Association (IABA) was founded in 1999 as a multidisciplinary network that aims to broaden the world vision of auto/biographers, scholars and readers, to deepen the cross-cultural understanding of self, identity and experience, and to carry on global dialogues on life writing.
