PLENARY SPEAKER:

The BrANCH committee is pleased to invite proposals for panels and papers on all aspects of U.S. history from the period 1789 to 1917. The organisers particularly encourage panels that open new lines of communication between established thematic specialties as well as individual papers that cut across traditional categories of historical inquiry in imaginative and innovative ways. Sponsored panels and postgraduate contributions are especially
welcome. Subsidies for postgraduate participants will be offered on a first come first serve basis.

Please send a brief CV and a summary of the proposed paper or panel (no more than 3 speakers per panel and 300 words per paper, please) by 1 MAY 2015 to the Conference Secretary: Billy Coleman (william.coleman.11@ucl.ac.uk). Please note that all programme participants will be expected to register as BrANCH members.
