THE NORTH AMERICAN CONFERENCE ON BRITISH STUDIES
IN CONJUNCTION WITH
THE SOUTHERN CONFERENCE ON BRITISH STUDIES
2002 ANNUAL MEETING, BALTIMORE, MARYLAND
CALL FOR PAPERS
______________________________________________________
The North American Conference on British Studies (NACBS) will hold its 2002
annual meeting, in conjunction with the Southern Conference on British
Studies (SCBS), at the Holiday Inn in Baltimore, Maryland from FRIDAY 8 to
SUNDAY 10 NOVEMBER, 2002.
Plenary speakers at the conference will be James Walvin, Professor of
History at York University, and author most recently of Making the Black
Atlantic (2000), and Margaret J.M. Ezell, John Paul Abbott Professor of
Liberal Arts at Texas A&M University, whose latest book is Social
Authorship and the Advent of Print (2000).
The NACBS, the main organization for British Studies in Canada and the
United States, along with its southern affiliate, the SCBS, seek
participation by scholars in all areas of British Studies. In particular,
we solicit proposals for interdisciplinary panels that draw on the work of
historians, literary critics, sociologists, art historians and scholars in
other disciplines whose focus is on Britain or the British Empire. We are
interested in panel proposals on broad themes, and proposals for roundtable
discussions of a topical work or methodological or other issue are also
welcome. We solicit, as well, panels that address any aspects of teaching
British Studies. The NACBS and SCBS welcome panel proposals on medieval
Britain. North American scholars, scholars from overseas, and graduate
students are all encouraged to submit proposals to the Program Chair of the
NACBS. Proposals for entire panels on a common theme will be given
priority, although individual paper proposals will also be considered if
several of them can be assembled to create a viable panel. The typical
panel will include three papers, each lasting twenty minutes, a chair, and
a separate commentator. No participant will be permitted to take part in
more than one session, and no more than one proposal will be considered
from each applicant. Committed to the principle of ensuring the broadest
possible participation of scholars of all facets of British Studies, the
program committee will give priority to proposals submitted by individuals
who did not read papers at the last two consecutive meetings. North
American participants in the meeting must be members of the NACBS.
Proposals should include a 200-300 word abstract for each paper to be read
and a one-two page curriculum vitae for ALL participants. The address,
phone number, and e-mail address of EACH participant (including the chair
and separate commentator) MUST be included in the proposal. For panel
proposals the name of the main contact person should be noted clearly.
In order to be considered, all proposals MUST be received by the NACBS
program committee by FRIDAY 25TH JANUARY, 2002. We do not accept proposals
via email. Please MAIL hardcopy of your proposals to:
Angela Woollacott, NACBS Program Chair, History Department, Case Western
