Date limite de soumission : lundi 22 novembre 2021
We invite submissions to a special conference on slavery in the Americas and Europe between the fifteenth and the nineteenth century, hosted by the European Early American Studies Conference (EEASA) . This conference will be held in association with the 66th annual British Association for American Studies (BAAS) conference, which will be held between the 21st and 23rd April 2022. Attendees to this EEASA conference will be also able to attend the BAAS conference. This special conference is designed to follow from the regular EEASA conference, the most recent one to be held in Poitiers in December 2021, and is intended to re-establish a regular pattern of conferences after this pattern was disrupted by COVID in 2020-21.
We look forward to welcoming European scholars interested in slavery and emancipation in the Americas to out beautiful Wilberforce Institute in historic Old Town in Hull in eastern Yorkshire. Both the BAAS conference is planned to be a hybrid event and the EEASA conference is intended to be a mostly in person event. For further details please see the conference link on the EEASA and BAAS websites BAAS Annual Conference 2022 – University of Hull – British Association for American Studies. We anticipate that many people coming to the EEASA conference would be interested in attending the BAAS conference, which follows immediately onwards after the end of this EEASA conference on early slavery. The registration fee for the EEASA conference will be £30.
Proposals are welcomed on any area of slavery and emancipation in the Americas, broadly conceived. We hope to attract a range of papers across eras, geographies and topics. The number of papers able to be accommodated at this conference will be between 12 and 16. There will be a keynote talk, to be advertised at a later date.
For more information, including information on travel and accommodation for this conference and the related BAAS conference, please visit the EEASA and BAAS websites BAAS Annual Conference 2022 – University of Hull – British Association for American Studies, which websites will be updated regularly.
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
We encourage fully formed panel proposals or roundtable discussions but we will also accept individual paper proposals where suitable. All sessions of the conference will be a maximum of 1 hour 30 minutes. Our preference for EEASA panels on Early Slavery is for these panels and papers to be able to be delivered in person. We are open to suggestions, however, about online delivery. Please see the BAAS website for more details of the hybrid delivery model for their conference.
As is the case with BAAS, EEASA is dedicated to fostering a culture of diversity and inclusion. We will attempt to make panels varied by gender, stage of career and especially, given our European orientation, different European places of residence. EEASA is especially interested in cross-European interactions.
All proposals should be sent to eeasa2022hull chez gmail.com by Monday, 22 November 2021. Proposals will be evaluated by a team of EEASA members, chaired by Professor Trevor Burnard of the Wilberforce Institute t.g.burnard chez hull.ac.uk. Proposals, whether for panels, roundtables or individual papers must include a 250 word abstract for each constituent paper, a 200-word biography for each participant and an email address for each participant. Presentations are expected to be a maximum of 20 minutes in length, unless organized separately with the organizers. The normal audiovisual and presentational tools will be available.
DELIVERY
Covid in Europe and the United Kingdom as part of Europe has presented particular problems for EEASA, as with all scholarly organizations. It has led to a delay in organizing this conference and the associated BAAS conference. It was not until mid-September 2021 that government guidelines in the UK made it possible for the University of Hull to be able to confirm that a hybrid conference 20-21 April 2022 was possible. We apologies for this delay but matters were out of our hands. EEASA is committed to providing members and friends with an in-person meeting to the extent that this is possible under UK government laws and advice and despite the continuing uncertainties concerning COVID. We note that while we are very hopeful that we can have an in-person conference, should circumstances change before mid-April, we feel confident that we can pivot to fully remote delivery.
