| ACIS Midwest Regional Meeting Calling
for Papers at Milwaukee Confab
The Midwest Region of the American Conference for Irish Studies will
hold its annual meeting on October 14-17, 2004. The conference will be
hosted on the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee campus.
The theme of the conference is Community and Nation. The conference
organizers welcome proposals (250 word abstracts) for papers (20 minutes
max.) and panels on any aspect of Irish Studies, particularly those that
focus on the conference theme. Topics may include (but are by no means
limited to):
-
Minorities in Ireland
-
Irish America
-
Nationalism and regionalism
-
Celtic communities
-
Artistic communities
Participation is especially encouraged in a roundtable on Irish-Scottish
relations (community-sponsored by the Robert Burns Club of Milwaukee),
and a roundtable on Women's Issues (community-sponsored by the Milwaukee
Celtic Women).
As always, the Midwest Region encourages the participation of graduate
students. A limited number of scholarships will be made available to student
members of ACIS. Applicants should submit proof of student status and a
letter of recommendation from their supervisor along with their paper proposal.
Paper and/or panel proposals should be submitted either by mail (preferred)
or electronically to: José Lanters, Department of English, University
of Wisconsin, P.O. Box 413, Milwaukee, WI 53201 (lanters@uwm.edu).
All proposals should be submitted no later than July 1st, 2004.
