U.S. Studies Online (USSO) is thrilled to announce our latest special series, Pedagogies of Resistance, Pedagogies of Hope: Redefining American Studies, in collaboration with BAAS Early Career Representative, Dr Siân Round.
The studying and teaching of American Studies is a pursuit in constant evolution: informed by the global research landscape, digital advances, and complex systems of social, political, and cultural change. As we increasingly debate how our discipline can anticipate and respond to these developments, we as American Studies researchers and practitioners are required to reflect on our individual and collective shaping of the field: How do we increase the reach of American Studies? How do we reconcile our dual roles as educators and students? And what is our vision for the future of the discipline?
U.S. Studies Online are seeking submissions from a wide range of disciplines that address the exchange of knowledge within American Studies. We welcome submissions from anyone whose work engages with America, and we are especially keen to hear from postgraduates, early career academics, and independent researchers.
Submissions should be 800-1200 words. We invite responses that engage with the theme openly and imaginatively. We are particularly interested in receiving:
Interpretations of the theme could include, but are by no means limited to:
Please submit an abstract of no more than 250 words and a biography of no more than 100 words to usso@baas.ac.uk by Friday 17th November.
Get in touch via email or Twitter with any questions.
We look forward to reading your proposals!
