Chesapeake American Studies Association Annual Conference 2010: New American
Spaces
March 26 & 27, Georgetown University

Opening Conference Plenary:
Richardson Lecture in American Studies
March 26, 5:30 PM, Copley Formal Lounge

“The Ugly Laws and After: Disability in Public”
Professor Susan Schweik, University of California at Berkeley
Schweik will explore the conditions of disability at the turn of the century in order to better understand disability in the present.

Conference
March 27th, 9AM to 6, Intercultural Center, Georgetown University

What might “new American spaces” look like? Spatial metaphors appear as
characteristic American Studies concerns: groundwork, crossroads of culture,
the local and the global, and crossing borders. This conference will address these issue from multiple disciplinary backgrounds.

What might “new American spaces” look like? Spatial metaphors appear as
characteristic American Studies concerns: groundwork, crossroads of culture,
the local and the global, and crossing borders. We seek to extend this
metaphor, calling for papers and panels from any disciplinary perspective that
address what “new American spaces” have been, are, and might be.
