sisältö

The John Morton Center for North American Studies invites proposals for
previously unpublished papers for its inaugural conference, “Bridging North
America: Connections and Divides,” to be held on August 28-30, 2014. The
conference seeks to bring together junior and senior scholars from
inter/disciplinary backgrounds from the social sciences and the humanities to
explore various cultural, socioeconomic, geographic, and political connections
and divides between the United States, Canada, and Mexico, and their global
ramifications. The papers may deal with either historical perspectives or
contemporary issues, and they may include both empirical and theoretical
considerations. We particularly encourage submissions that engage in
interdisciplinary and multi-methodological discussions on the study of North
America.

 

Topics for paper presentations may include:

 

·         bridges, borders, and boundaries

 

·         the movement of people, goods, and services

 

·         information flows, leaks, and security

 

·         continental economies, policies, and politics

 

·         transnational relationships

 

·         identity formations, identity transformations, and identity
politics

 

·         cultural expressions, sporting practices, and visual
representations

 

·         interdisciplinary theories and practices

 

Please email abstracts of 250 words for 20-minute paper presentations, together
with a max. 150-word bio, including name, institutional affiliation and
position, phone number and email address, to Research Coordinator Johanna
Leinonen, email johlei at utu.fi. Abstract Deadline: May 31, 2014. Participants
will receive notifications of acceptance by June 15, 2014.

 

Selected papers will be published in a textbook designed for the transnational
North American Studies classroom context, to be published in 2015. The book
will follow the Chicago Manual of Style, 16th Ed.

 

For general inquiries, please contact us at jmc at utu.fi.
