BAAS 2023 Annual Conference- Call for Papers

Pro- and Anti-War Voices, 11 November 2023, University of Worcester

University of Worcester City Campus, Castle Street, Worcester , United Kingdom

Pro- and Anti-War Voices, 11 November 2023, University of Worcester. CFP Deadline May 31st. This conference is dedicated to illuminating both negative and positive responses to war in the United States, and welcomes proposals from academics, postgraduate researchers (PGRs), and early career academics (ECAs) who focus on either of these perspectives in any historical period.

Amerikahaus Munich Karolinenpl. 3, Munich, Bavaria, Germany

From April 2-7, 2024, the 35th Biennial EAAS-conference, titled 1924 – 2024: The American Immigrant Narrative Revisited, takes place at Amerikahaus Munich. It is hosted by the Bavarian American Academy (BAA).

We invite scholars interested in exploring these topics to submit their proposals for individual papers or full panels. Proposals can be submitted via our conference tool by September 15, 2023. Notifications of acceptance will be sent out by […]
