2025 Mid-Atlantic Conference on British Studies Annual Meeting
Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD
Friday and Saturday, March 7–8, 2025
The MACBS – the mid-Atlantic affiliate of the NACBS, the main organization for British Studies in Canada and the United States – is soliciting proposals for papers and panels on all areas of British Studies for our annual conference. We will meet in-person at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore on Friday, March 7, and Saturday, March 8. We welcome participation from scholars of Britain, the British Atlantic World, and the British Empire broadly defined, and we are open to proposals ranging from the ancient to the contemporary and from scholars of history, anthropology, literature, art, politics, economics and related fields. Faculty of any seniority level and graduate students are all encouraged to participate.
Proposals for both individual papers and full panels are welcome. Paper proposals should include a title, an abstract of no more than 250 words, and a one-page curriculum vitae. Full panel proposals should additionally include a panel title and a one-paragraph description of the panel’s overall aim and indicate which panel member will serve as the organizer and primary contact. Panel proposals are encouraged, but not required, to include a chair (with one-page CV included). Please submit all proposal materials (for both paper and panel proposals) as a single file.
All submissions must be received by Friday, 17 January 2025. A draft program will be circulated no later than early February.
Send proposals via email to [email protected].
