This year’s meeting explores how American Studies interacts with the world. In one sense, this refers to scholarly investigations of current or historical transnational processes such as immigration, colonialism, tourism, trade, and other global interactions with the United States. It also invokes the political concerns of many American Studies scholars who study or engage in community activism within the region. American Studies has in the past also increasingly focused on everyday culture and quotidian ways in which we engage with the world and that define us as citizens and as embodied, sexual, gendered and racialized subjects. In discussing these ongoing major trends in American Studies, the symposium centers the perspectives of historically marginalized groups as it investigates where American Studies is currently situated and where it is heading.
We invite traditional presentations and panels that engage with the core questions as well as roundtables and workshops that showcase the involvement of programs and departments in the region with their communities and environment. We also encourage the participation of international American Studies programs that have partner institutions here in the region (if this applies to your institution, please forward this CfP to your international partner program).
Please send a 150-word proposal for an individual paper, a short bio and 3 keywords to .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) by January 2nd.
