CFP: South West American Studies Forum (UK) (12/1/06; 5/19/07)
Paper proposals are requested for a one-day regional American Studies
colloquium intended to reflect and develop the vitality of the discipline in
the South West of England. Long an area with distinctive maritime, military,
ethnic and cultural connections to North America, the South West also contains
a number of HE institutions with well-established American Studies programmes
and expertise. The colloquium aims to bring together researchers from across
the region to present their current work, and to explore areas of potential
cross-institutional collaboration. The day will include an open-forum
discussion on the future of the discipline in UK Higher Education
