> __________________________________________________________
> The North American Conference on British Studies (NACBS) will hold its
> 2001
> annual meeting, in conjunction with the Midwest Conference on British
> Studies (MWCBS), at the Sutton Place Hotel in Toronto from FRIDAY 2 to
> SUNDAY 4 NOVEMBER, 2001.
> 
> The NACBS, the main organization for British Studies in Canada and the
> United States, along with its midwestern affiliate, the MWCBS, seek
> participation by scholars in all areas of British Studies. In particular,
> we solicit proposals for interdisciplinary panels that draw on the work of
> historians, literary critics, sociologists, art historians and scholars in
> other disciplines whose focus is on Britain or the British Empire. We are
> interested in panel proposals on broad themes; proposals for roundtable
> discussions of a topical work or methodological or other issue are also
> welcome. The NACBS and MWCBS welcome panel proposals on medieval Britain.
> North American scholars, scholars from overseas, and graduate students are
> all encouraged to submit proposals to the Program Chair of the NACBS. The
> MWCBS will award a prize for the best paper given by a graduate student at
> the conference. Proposals for entire panels on a common theme will be
> given
> priority, although individual paper proposals will also be considered if
> several of them can be assembled to create a viable panel. The typical
> panel will include three papers, each lasting twenty minutes, a chair, and
> a separate commentator. No participant will be permitted to take part in
> more than one session, and no more than one proposal will be considered
> from each applicant. Committed to the principle of ensuring the broadest
> possible participation of scholars of all facets of British Studies, the
> program committees will give priority to proposals submitted by
> individuals
> who did not read papers at the last two consecutive meetings. North
> American participants in the meeting must be members of the NACBS.
> 
> Proposals should include a 200-300 word abstract for each paper to be read
> and a one-two page curriculum vitae for ALL participants. The address,
> phone number, and e-mail address of EACH participant (including the chair
> and separate commentator) MUST be included in the proposal. For panel
> proposals the name of the main contact person should be noted clearly.
> 
> In order to be considered, all proposals MUST be received by the NACBS
> program committee by FRIDAY 26TH JANUARY, 2001. Please MAIL your proposals
