The Midwest Conference on British Studies will hold its annual meeting in
Columbus, Ohio on October 18-20, 2002. The host institution is Ohio State University,
and Professor David Cressy is in charge of local arrangements. Invitations to serve as
plenary speakers have been tendered to, and tentatively accepted by, the distinguished
historians Gareth Stedman-Jones and Miri Rubin.
The MWCBS seeks papers from scholars in all fields of British studies, including
advanced graduate students. Proposals for complete sessions organized around a
common theme are preferred, though proposals for individual papers will be considered
if they can be combined with others. A complete session generally consists of three
papers (20 minutes each), a chair, and a commentator. Proposals will also be considered
for roundtable discussions of important or timely subjects. Proposals should include a
200-word abstract for each paper and a brief c.v. for each participant, including chairs
and commentators.
The MWCBS will award a prize for the best graduate student paper given at the
conference. As always, further information available from MWCBS website:
http://www.eiu.edu/~localite/britain/mwcbs/.
All proposals should be submitted by April 1 to the address below.
Members of the Program Committee are: Chet DeFonso (Northern Michigan
University), Thomas Mayer (Augustana College), Jane K. Vieth (Michigan State
University), Ann Frank Wake (Elmhurst College), and Michael B. Young (Illinois
Wesleyan University).
