Hip Hop and Higher Education Conference

Call for Papers The Hip Hop and Higher Education online conference is a one-day event, funded by the British Association for American Studies (BAAS), that will take place on Thursday 15th July 2021. Through this conference, we seek to do three things: Provide a space for people to exhibit and enjoy the critical, creative and communal elements of Hip Hop Interrogate Hip Hop's exclusion from higher education, linking it to intersecting systems of oppression and discrimination which underpin the university and wider society Explore the merits and possible dangers of incorporating Hip Hop into formal sites of higher education In order to reflect and honour the dynamism of Hip Hop, music and performance will feature throughout the day. In that vein, we not only invite artists, academics (early careers/established) and members of the Hip Hop community to submit proposals for papers, but also group presentations, performances, videos, virtual exhibitions, discussion […]

Transatlantic Studies Association Annual Conference 2021

ISCTE UNIVERSITY INSTITUTE OF LISBON Av. das Forças Armadas, Lisbon

The Centre for International Studies at ISCTE-IUL (University Institute of Lisbon) is hosting the nineteenth annual conference of the Transatlantic Studies Association. On the right bank of the river Tagus, Lisbon’s history stretches back over time. The 15th and 16th century voyages of discovery turned the city into one of the world’s biggest ports and the centre of an empire that stretched from Brazil to India. Lisbon’s exceptional light has charmed writers, photographers and filmmakers with the polychrome façade tiles creating a unique atmosphere. On foot, by tram, by boat or walking along the river shorelines, any means serves to reveal the cultural diversity of the Portuguese capital as a singular gateway to the Atlantic. KEYNOTE LECTURES Professor Andrew Moravcsik (Princeton University) “Why meeting NATO’s 2% target would make Europe (and the West) less secure” AND Professor Anna Brickhouse (University of Virginia) Mayflower Lecture    “From Lima to Lisbon: Earthquake […]

American Studies Association of Turkey Conference: Movement and Mobility in America (Online)

American Studies Association of Turkey (ASAT) 40th International American Studies Conference   Movement and Mobility in America Online Conference June 28-29, 2021   Movement and mobility lie at the core of American society. Whether through immigration, internal migration, social mobility, or domestic and global expansionism, the United States has always been defined as a nation of frontiers and pioneers, a country that is constantly (re)defining itself, where self-(re)invention is part of the American dream. Movement and mobility in the American context can also be physical, sociological, psychological, or political, as in the case of mobilizing for racial justice, such as with the Black Lives Matter movement that is sweeping the nation.   The Trump Administration has prompted a reevaluation of movement and mobility across the political spectrum. While some argue that this has stimulated a visible resurgence in activism and a revival of social movements in the United States, others […]
