>>British Association for American Studies Annual Conference
>>University of Nottingham, 16-19 April 2009
>>CALL FOR PAPERS
>>The fifty-fourth BAAS Annual Conference will take place at the 
>>University of Nottingham between 16 and 19 April 2009.
>>
>>There is no main focus or theme for the conference which is 
>>designed as a forum for research papers on any subject relating to 
>>the United States of America and to early America.  Paper and panel 
>>proposals on any topic within American Studies, broadly defined, 
>>are welcome. The conference will feature papers across a wide range 
>>of disciplines including literary studies, history, film, 
>>television and media studies, political science, cultural studies, 
>>visual culture and art history, among others.  We are also 
>>extremely keen to receive proposals which adopt an interdisciplinary focus.
>>
>>Located in the centre of England and near to East Midlands Airport, 
>>Nottingham is renowned not only for the legendary Robin Hood but 
>>also for its close proximity to Eastwood, the birthplace of D.H. 
>>Lawrence and Newstead Abbey, Lord Byron's ancestral home.  The city 
>>offers a wealth of museums, galleries and cinemas including 
>>Nottingham Castle, the Playhouse, the Theatre Royal, the Broadway 
>>Cinema and Media Centre as well as the newly opened Contemporary 
>>Art Exchange. Situated to the west of the city centre, the location 
>>for the conference is the 330 acre University Park which is notable 
>>both for its famous lake, woodland areas and extensive parkland 
>>which is the home to a theatre, a performance hall and two Art 
>>Centres. For further information about Nottingham, please see

>>
>>We would like to invite proposals for 20-minute papers of a maximum 
>>of 250 words which should also include a provisional title. These 
>>will be arranged into panel groups. We also invite proposals for 
>>panels and roundtable discussions, involving two or more people and 
>>sharing a common theme and/or interdisciplinary focus. The 
>>conference will include papers from national and international 
>>scholars across the spectrum of the research community, ranging 
>>from postgraduates to senior scholars.
