THE NORTH AMERICAN CONFERENCE ON BRITISH STUDIES
IN CONJUNCTION WITH
THE MID-ATLANTIC CONFERENCE ON BRITISH STUDIES
2004 ANNUAL MEETING, PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA
OCTOBER 29-OCTOBER 31, 2004
FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS
The North American Conference on British Studies (NACBS) will hold its 2004
Annual Meeting, in conjunction with the Mid-Atlantic Conference on British
Studies (MACBS) in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania from
Friday, October 29 to Sunday, October 31, 2004.
Plenary addresses will be delivered by Martha Vicinus, Eliza M. Mosher
Distinguished University Professor, University of Michigan, speaking on
"Overcoming Stereotypes: Victorian Women and Sex" and Christopher Dyer,
Professor of Regional and Local History, University of Leicester, speaking on
“The Material World of the Medieval Village: New Light on Peasant England.”
The NACBS, the main organization for British Studies in Canada and the United
States, along with its Mid-Atlantic affiliate, the MACBS, seek participation by
scholars in all areas of British Studies. We solicit proposals for panels on
England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and the British Empire broadly defined. Our
interests range from the medieval to the modern and we welcome participation
by historians, literary critics, economists, sociologists, art historians, and
scholars in other allied disciplines. We invite panel proposals treating selected
themes, methodology, and pedagogy, as well as roundtable discussion of
topical work. North American scholars, international scholars, 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. 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 principles of ensuring the
broadest possible participation of scholars of all facets of British Studies, the
program committee will give priority to proposals submitted by those who did not
read papers at each of the last two consecutive meetings. North American
participants in the meeting must be members of the NACBS.
Proposals should include FOUR COPIES of each of the following: (a)
completed Cover Sheet, (b) a statement of the overall purpose and goals of the
panel, (c) a 200-300 word abstract for each paper to be read, and (d) a one or
two page curriculum vitae for ALL participants.
The Call for Papers, Cover Sheet, and Guidelines for Submission of Proposals
are located at
To be considered, all proposals MUST be received by the NACBS Program
Committee by Friday, January 23, 2004. We do not accept proposals via e-mail
or fax. Please MAIL FOUR hardcopies of your proposals to:
