Western Conference of British Studies Annual Conference 2015
Austin, Texas, 15-17 October 2015
This year’s conference theme: “The Body Politic”
The Western Conference on British Studies announces the forty-second annual conference that will convene in Austin, Texas on 15-17 October 2015 at the Doubletree by Hilton Austin. Concurrent sessions will be held on Friday and Saturday.
As always, we invite panels of 3-4 presenters with chair and commentator or individual papers on any aspect of British Studies. Advanced graduate students and early career scholars are particularly encouraged to propose papers or panels. For the 2015 meeting we would especially like to invite any papers that focus on or situate research within the theme “The Body Politic” broadly conceived (the political body, the gendered body, the subjective body, the objectified body, the body as site of politics, regulated bodies, segregated bodies, etc.)
The conference will feature a plenary address by Dr. Marjorie Levine-Clark (Associate Dean, Associate Professor, University of Colorado Denver), author of Unemployment, Welfare and Masculine Citizenship: “So Much Honest Poverty” in Britain 1870-1930 (Palgrave, 2015).
Please submit proposals, including 250 word abstracts for each paper and a 1-2 page C.V. for each presenter, chair and commentator by 30 April 2015 to Dr. Lynn MacKay ([email protected]) and Dr. Jessica Sheetz-Nguyen ([email protected]).

CFP: Western Conference on British Studies, October 3-5, 2013
Posted by jaskelly under Conferences, Regionals | Tags: cfp, wcbs |
The Western Conference on British Studies invites papers for its annual meeting October 3-5, 2013.
For the first time in our history, the Western Conference on British Studies will meet in Kansas City, MO.
In recognition of Kansas City’s geographic position as the meeting point between urban and rural America, and Missouri’s status as the jumping-off point for the Westward Movement, the conference’s theme will be
“Borders, Boundaries and Frontiers.” The borders, boundaries and frontiers that we envision range from the geographic to the chronological, from the gendered to the religious, from the boundaries of class to those of nationality and Empire, and we invite everyone to participate!
Peter Stansky, (Frances and Charles Field Professor of History, Emeritus, Stanford University) will deliver the plenary address.
Missouri has other links to British history and culture that may inspire presentations or panels for our meeting. Kansas City was a major centre of Irish immigration in the nineteenth century and we would welcome papers that explored topics on border crossing, immigration or emigration. Fulton Missouri was the locale for Winston Churchill’s famous “Sinews of Peace” or “Iron Curtain” speech, which gave rhetorical rigidity to the political and cultural boundaries between East and West during the Cold War. As always, papers on any other aspect of the British experience are welcome, including papers exploring interdisciplinary perspectives, reflections on pedagogical issues, or discussion of art, music or material culture.
The WCBS welcomes papers from advanced graduate students, and offers the Bob McJimsey prize for the best graduate student paper presented at the conference.
Proposals for papers and full panels, including a 250 word abstract for each paper and a 1-2 pg. c.v. for each presenter, chair/commentator, should be sent to program co-chairs:
Chris Frank, University of Manitoba ([email protected]) or Lynn McKay, Brandon University ([email protected]) by 30 April 2013.

WESTERN CONFERENCE ON BRITISH STUDIES
2012 Meeting
Las Vegas, NV
CALL FOR PAPERS
DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION: 15 April, 2012
The 2012 meeting of the WCBS will take place 20-23 September, 2012 in Las Vegas, NV at the 'off-the-strip' SpringHill Suites.
The organizers invite papers on any aspect of the British experience but are especially keen to receive panel proposals or individual papers that speak to the theme: “The Seven Deadly Sins in British Studies”. We take the broad view of British Studies to include the United Kingdom and its antecedents and constituents in any time period, as well as Britain's colonial and imperial past. In recent years, we have included papers and presentations from established scholars and advanced graduate students in many social science and humanities disciplines, including history, literature, political studies, philosophy, religion, women's and gender studies, English, film and theatre, and art history.
The WCBS offers an annual prize--recently christened the Bob McJimsey Graduate Student Paper Award-- to the paper judged the best contribution by a currently-enrolled graduate student, presented at the annual conference.
Proposals, including a 250 word abstract for each paper, a brief (2 page) c.v. for each presenter, commentator and chair and full contact details should be sent via email, preferably all as one attached document (subject line: WCBS 2012 Proposal) to
Dr. Christopher Frank
Department of History
University of Manitoba, <[email protected]> by *15 April 2012*.

CALL FOR PAPERS
NORTH AMERICAN CONFERENCE ON BRITISH STUDIES
ANNUAL MEETING
DENVER, COLORADO
NOVEMBER 18-20, 2011
The NACBS and its Western affiliate, the WCBS, seek participation by scholars in all areas of British Studies for the 2011 meeting. We solicit proposals for panels on Britain, the British Empire and the British world. Our interests range from the medieval to the modern. We welcome participation by scholars across the humanities and social sciences.
We invite panel proposals addressing selected themes, methodology, and pedagogy, as well as roundtable discussions of topical and thematic interest, including conversations among authors of recent books and reflections on landmark scholarship. North American scholars, international scholars and Ph.D. students are all encouraged to submit proposals for consideration.
Strong preference will be given to complete panel or roundtable proposals that consider a common theme. Panels typically include three papers and a comment; roundtables customarily have four presentations. Individual paper proposals will also be considered in rare cases. We urge those with single paper submissions to search for additional panelists on lists such as H-Albion or at venues such as the NACBS Facebook page. Applicants may also write to the Program Chair for suggestions ([email protected]).
All scholars working in the field of British Studies are encouraged to apply for the 2011 conference, though we especially welcome papers from those who did not appear on the 2010 program. Panels that include both emerging and established scholars are especially encouraged, as are submissions with broad chronological focus and interdisciplinary breadth. We welcome the participation of junior scholars and Ph.D. candidates beyond the qualifying stage. To enable intellectual interchange, we ask applicants to compose panels that feature participation from a range of institutions. No participant will be permitted to take part in more than one session except in exceptional circumstances cleared by the Program Committee, and no more than one proposal will be considered from each applicant.
All submissions must be received by March 15, 2011.
For details, directions and online submission procedures, see www.nacbs.org/conference.html.
Please send questions about panel requirements
and suggestions about program development to
