The Abington Campus of The Pennsylvania State University is located in suburban Philadelphia, approximately twelve miles from the city center. It is connected by road and rail links (one half mile from campus) to central Philadelphia.
The MACBS, an affiliate of the NACBS, the main organization for British Studies in Canada and the United States, seeks participation by scholars in all areas of British Studies. We solicit proposals for panels on Britain, the British Atlantic World, and the British Empire broadly defined. Our interests range from the ancient to the contemporary and we welcome participation by scholars of history, anthropology, literature, art, politics, economics and related fields. Senior faculty, junior faculty, and graduate students are all encouraged to participate.
We will accept complete panel proposals (comment, chair, and three papers) as well as individual paper proposals if they can be integrated into a viable panel. We encourage independent submitters to advertise for additional panelists on H-Net (e.g. H-Albion) or to email the program committee for other suggestions. No participant will be permitted to take part in more than one session, and no more than one proposal will be considered from each applicant.
Proposals should include a brief (no more than 250 words) abstract of the paper and a curriculum vita. Full panel proposals should also include a concise description of the panel’s overall aim and indicate which panel member will serve as the organizer and primary contact.
All submissions must be received by February 24, 2012.
