NEW SCHOLARS SERIES AT BATES COLLEGE \u00a0– CALL FOR PAPERS<\/p>\n

NEW APPROACHES TO EARLY MODERN LITERATURE AND CULTURE<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

A SYMPOSIUM<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

26 September 2016<\/p>\n

The Department of English at Bates College invites papers on any topic related to new approaches to Early Modern Literature and Culture, for a day-long symposium showcasing the work of emerging scholars (recent PhD or ABD) from historically underrepresented groups.<\/p>\n

The symposium will showcase new work by individuals from underrepresented groups in the professoriate, specifically defined as including African Americans, Alaska Natives, Arab Americans, Asian Americans, Latinas\/os, Native Americans, Native Hawaiians, and other Pacific Islanders.<\/p>\n

We are particularly interested in questions that contest the boundaries of Early Modern English Literature, including (but not limited to) considerations of ethnography, genre, and geography; that interrogate its received forms, including material cultural and \/ or theoretical perspectives\u2014including philosophies of race, gender, or sexuality\u2014germane to emerging national literatures; and that broach its very definition as a period, arguably from 1500 to 1750, including points of contact with or reference to notions of the medieval and \/ or modern.<\/p>\n

Invited speakers will have their travel expenses covered and will be guests of the College from the evening of 9\/25 through breakfast on 9\/27, with all paper presentations to occur on 9\/26. Twenty-minute papers will be grouped into thematic panels, with additional roundtable and Q&A formats running throughout the day. We aim to create an intellectually enriching experience for all interlocutors, including the selected speakers and the faculty and students of Bates College.<\/p>\n

\n\u2022 A 300-word abstract describing the paper\u2019s argument, critical context, and significance
\n\u2022 A current cv
