Americans love to rank things. In business there is the Fortune 500; in crime the FBI’s Most Wanted; and David Letterman made his name by composing a daily Top Ten List. It is no surprise that presidents are treated to the same scrutiny. For the very first time in 2010, UK scholars of American history have composed their own rankings organized by Professor Iwan Morgan (Institute for the Study of the America’s). Northumbria University is hosting a symposium to further dissect these rankings and discuss the legacy of America’s presidents.

Featured speakers include:
Professor Iwan Morgan (Institute for the Study of the Americas)
Professor John Dumbrell (Durham University)
Dr. Niall Palmer (Brunel University)
Professor David Haglund (Queen’s University – Ontario)

Proposals for individual papers or complete sessions (up to four papers) should include a 250-word abstract for each presenter. Submissions should be made via email to michael.cullinane@northumbria.ac.uk The deadline for submissions is November 25, 2011.
