BAAS Annual Conference 2013
April 18 - 21, 2013
Exeter , Regno Unito
A 4-day conference to be held at the University of Exeter, 18-21 April 2013
Three plenary speakers have already been confirmed:
Paul Gilroy, Anthony Giddens Professor of Social Theory at the London School of Economics
Dolores Hayden, Professor of Architecture, Urbanism and American Studies at Yale University
Anders Stephanson, Andrew and Virginia Rudd Family Foundation Professor of History at Columbia University
The conference will begin after lunch on Thursday 18th April and will close after lunch on Sunday 21st April.
There is no overarching theme to the conference, and papers and panel proposals are welcomed on any subject that falls under the remit of American Studies. We invite proposals from individuals and from other interest groups including associations linked to BAAS, such as the APG, BGEAH, BrANCH, and HOTCUS. Half a century after 1963, we invite proposals inspired by the events of that year and the tumultuous decade that followed. 2013 also represents the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation and we welcome suggestions for related papers and panels.
Proposals for 20-minute presentations should be a maximum of 250 words and include a provisional title. Proposals by two or more people sharing a common theme are warmly invited and we welcome panels that cross disciplinary boundaries. The conference organisers hope to continue the initiative shown at previous BAAS Annual Conferences by scheduling roundtable discussions and innovative panel presentations, and we encourage such proposals as appropriate.
