Imperial Transformations:
Ecology, Bureaucracy, and Ritual in the British Atlantic, 17th-20th Centuries
April 10, 2015 | University of Chicago
This conference provides a forum for graduate students from across the Social Sciences and the Humanities to exchange ideas about the profound, transformative impacts of imperial activities in the British Atlantic from the seventeenth to the twentieth century. The goal of the conference is to stimulate trans-disciplinary dialogue and to promote innovative approaches to the study of imperial transformations and their consequences in Asia, the Americas, West Africa, and/or the United Kingdom.
We invite proposals for 15-minute presentations from emerging scholars of the British Atlantic World in the Greater Chicago area, whose work explores themes including but not limited to civilizing, mapping, administering, conquering, possessing, trading, and inventorying in British colonial contexts. Proposals from graduate students in Anthropology, Art History, English, History, Music, Political Science, and related disciplines are welcome.
Applicants are asked to submit an abstract (up to 250 words) to imperialtransformations@gmail.com no later than December 30, 2014 for a response by the conference committee by January 10, 2015. Please note that accepted papers will be pre-circulated one month ahead of the conference (March 10, 2015).
Questions and comments may be directed to imperialtransformations@gmail.com or to the conference organizers, Genevieve Godbout (ggodbout@uchicago.edu) and Tessa Murphy (tessamurphy@uchicago.edu).
Please note that the call for submissions is now closed. The organizers thank you for your interest.
