On 6 - 8 July 2015 the Transatlantic Studies Association will host its 14th Annual Conference at the Roosevelt Study Center in Middelburg, the Netherlands.
Established in 2002, the TSA is a broad network of scholars who use the ‘transatlantic’ as a frame of reference for their work in political, economic, cultural, historical, environmental, literary, and IR/security studies. All transatlantic-themed paper and panel proposals from these disciplines are welcome. The Middelburg conference also encourages proposals / panels that:
- investigate the relevance and significance of the ‘transatlantic’ for a certain discipline or field;
- that explore it through frames of reference such as ideology, empire, race, religion, migration, political mobilisation, or social movements;
- that incorporate perspectives that involve north-south and south-south transatlantic connections, as well as north-north;
- that link the ‘transatlantic’ to other key perspectives such as the transnational or the cosmopolitan.
Both panel proposals and individual papers are welcome. Panel proposals are encouraged to include a discussant. New members and junior scholars are especially welcome.
Please send individual paper proposals (a 300 word abstract + brief CV) and complete panel proposals (300 word overview + 300 word abstracts for the papers + brief CVs) to the conference email: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
