Keywords: Nineteenth-Century American Studies in the Twenty-First Century
University of Warwick, 6-7 November, 2015
Keynote speaker: Susan Gillman, University of California, Santa Cruz
This symposium aims to be a 'state-of-the-field' event that brings together researchers, writers, teachers and students to discuss the most pressing topics and concepts currently animating nineteenth-century American literary and cultural studies.
The symposium will be organised around a series of 'keyword' sessions. These sessions will allow those working in the field to share perspectives and debate the significance of the keyword in question: its meanings and implications, its challenges and problems, and how it informs and shapes our collective understanding of the American nineteenth century.
For more information, please go to the British Association of Nineteenth-Century Americanists (BrANCA) webpage HERE
Please see here for full Terms and Conditions.
Conference registration is now open and the conference programme can be found here.
