Keynote speaker: Dr Sarah Churchwell (University of East Anglia)

Identity remains one of the most central and most contested concepts in circulation today. No individual or group can escape the question of identity in a range of categories be it gender, class, nationality or race. Yet, an understanding of one's 'self' in relation to these somewhat rigid categories is problematic and as a result representations of identity are continually plagued by an irresolvable sense of unease and anxiety. 

Americana: The Journal of American Popular Culture, 1900 to present, invites submissions on any aspect of American Studies. We welcome a variety of subjects and theoretical approaches. Please visit the journal at http://www.americanpopularculture.com to see the kind of work we have published in the past and our submission guidelines.

Attach and email submissions in MLA format to editor@americanpopularculture.com.
