The 62nd Annual British Association for American Studies conference will take place 6-8 April, 2017, at Canterbury Christ Church University.

Delegates are warmly invited to attend a diverse range of papers and roundtables by specialists in American history, culture, literature, politics, art, film, and any combination of the above.
