CALL FOR PAPERS

DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION: SEPTEMBER 25, 2000

The Southern Conference on British Studies solicits proposals for its 2001 meeting to be held November 16-19, 2001 in New Orleans, Louisiana. The SCBS will meet in conjunction with the Southern Historical Association. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE CONFERENCE WILL MEET FROM FRIDAY TO MONDAY RATHER THAN THE USUAL WEDNESDAY TO SATURDAY. The SHA made these arrangements in order to lower costs for participants.

The SCBS construes British Studies widely and invites participation by scholars in all areas of British history and culture, including the Empire and Commonwealth as well as the home islands. Interdisciplinary approaches are encouraged.

Proposals may consist of individual papers or of papers grouped for a session. For session proposals, two, or preferably, three papers should relate to a common theme, not necessarily bound by the usual chronological framework.

For each paper proposed, please submit an abstract of two- to three-hundred words, indicating the thesis of the paper, the sources and methodology employed in research, and how it enhances or expands knowledge of its subject. Papers should have a reading time of twenty to twenty-five minutes. Also, please submit a curriculum vitae for each participant.

Proposals should be postmarked by SEPTEMBER 25, 2000 and sent to Professor Ginger S. Frost at the address below. Please do not fax or e-mail proposals, although inquiries are welcome at the email below.
