Kentucky-Tennessee Chapter
KTASA serves the states, not surprisingly, of Kentucky and Tennessee. It seeks to support and foster the study of the history, society, and culture of the region; to bring those interested in the region together to explore its dynamics; and to encourage interdisciplinary research, publication and teaching. Members of the chapters include college and university faculty at all ranks; undergraduate and graduate students; secondary school teachers; public historians; and librarians, archivists, and curators. ASA members residing in the region are automatically KTASA members, and members of the ASA from outside the region are welcome to join the chapter. Interested parties unaffiliated with the ASA may join the KTASA directly. KTASA publishes Border States biennially, and a newsletter annually. Each spring the chapter hosts a two-day conference, generally at a nice resort central to the region. Triennially, the KTASA awards the Richard Beale Davis -- William Berge Book Prize for the monograph published during the period that best illuminates the history, society, and culture of our region.Community Blog

Call for Papers and Presentations
In anticipation of its 53rd annual conference, the executive committee of the Kentucky-Tennessee chapter of the American Studies Association invites proposals for papers, panels, and presentations. Interdisciplinary scholarship on all aspects of American culture is welcomed, especially as pertains to the history and culture of our region or to issues of American Studies pedagogy. Proposals for sessions in alternative formats—roundtables, talk-format, student panels, visual, aural, or performative presentations—are especially encouraged.
The annual meeting of the Kentucky-Tennessee ASA is a convivial gathering where scholarship is shared and debated in an idyllic setting. Interested persons from within and without the region are invited to submit and to attend.
Papers will be allotted twenty minutes on the program. There is no fixed length for other types of presentations, so proposals should indicate how
much time will be needed.
Proposals must include:
a) an abstract of not more than one hundred words outlining the paper, panel or presentation proposed;
b) a separate cover sheet with the title of the proposal, author’s name, title, affiliation (if any), address, e-mail address, telephone and FAX numbers;
c) a brief (one paragraph) autobiography;
d) a note on any special requirements. (audio-visual or other)
Submit proposals via email or snail mail to:
Susan Myers-Shirk
Department of History, Middle Tennessee State University
P.O. Box 23
Murfreesboro, TN, 37132
Deadline for proposals: 16 FEBRUARY 2008
