> The Midwest Conference on British Studies is proud to announce that its
> fifty-ninth annual meeting will be hosted by the University of Toronto in
> Ontario, Canada, October 12-14th, 2012.
>
> The keynote speaker will be John Gillis, Professor Emeritus, Rutgers
> University. The plenary address will be given by Ian Gentles, Professor of
> History, Tynedale University College and Seminary.
>
> The MWCBS seeks papers from scholars in all fields of British Studies,
> broadly defined to include those who study England, Scotland, Wales,
> Ireland, and Britain's Empire and the Commonwealth. We welcome scholars
> from the broad spectrum of disciplines, including but not limited to
> history, literature, political science, gender studies and art history.
> Proposals for complete sessions are preferred, although proposals for
> individual papers will be considered. We welcome roundtables (of four
> participants plus chair) and panels (of three participants plus
> chair/commentator) that:
>
> * offer cross-disciplinary perspectives on topics in British Studies
> * situate the arts, letters, and sciences in a British cultural context
> * examine representations of British and imperial/Commonwealth national
> identities
> * consider Anglo-American relations, past and present
> * examine new trends in British Studies
> * assess a major work or body of work by a scholar
> * explore new developments in digital humanities and/or research
> methodologies
>
> After a very positive response to last year's first teaching roundtable,
> we would particularly like to receive proposals for teaching roundtables
> that discuss collaborative or innovative learning techniques in the
> British Studies classroom.
>
> The MWCBS welcomes papers presented by advanced graduate students and will
> award the Walter L. Arnstein Prize for the best graduate student paper(s)
> given at the conference.
>
> Proposals must:
> - Include a 200-word abstract for each paper and a brief, 1-page
> c.v. for each participant, including chairs and commentators.
> - For full panels, include a brief 200-word preview of the panel as
> a whole.
>
> Please place the panel proposal, the accompanying paper proposals and
> vitas in one file and send it as a single attachment. Also identify within
> the email the contact person for the panel.
