BAAS is pleased to announce that our former Chair, Professor Simon Newman (Glasgow / Wisconsin), has been named an Honorary Fellow in recognition of his long service to the British American Studies community.
The University of Glasgow, College of Arts & Humanities, is delighted to welcome the 2024 Elizabeth Bishop Symposium to Scotland. Elizabeth Bishop in Glasgow provides an opportunity both to hear about recent and emerging work in Bishop Studies, and to consider Bishop’s writing in a Scottish Atlantic context. In addition, our symposium will consider the influence of Scottish writers and artists on Bishop’s writing and, in turn, Bishop's impact on contemporary Scottish writers. We welcome contributions from anyone with an interest in Bishop’s life, work, reception and contexts.
The BAAS Executive Committee are delighted to announce that the 69th annual BAAS conference will be an entirely online conference, held between 10-12 April 2024. BAAS, in conjunction with the Green BAAS Network, are committed to reflecting upon the environmental impact of our activities, and to making positive changes to combat climate catastrophe. Proposals are welcomed on any subject in American Studies, broadly conceived: please see our Call for Papers.
