Transnational US Studies: A Conference in Honor of Emory Elliott

February 19-20, 2010

University of California, Riverside

Among Emory Elliott's many passions was the internationalization of American
Studies. Indeed, he was one of the initiators of its transnational turn,
rethinking political, geographical and disciplinary borders. Emory was
himself a transnational scholar, nurturing scholars in all parts of the
world. In honor of his memory, this interdisciplinary conference considers
American cultures within a transnational context.
