1. OPEN PANEL ON NINETEENTH-CENTURY AMERICANIST TOPICS
Each year BrANCA hosts a special panel at BAAS showcasing progressive, interdisciplinary work on the United States in the long nineteenth century. This year BrANCA invites paper proposals on any relevant topic to be included within a sponsored panel at the BAAS Conference at the University of Liverpool, April 16-18, 2020
We invite proposals for papers from all researchers working in the field. We are particularly interested in global, hemispheric and transatlantic approaches to key themes in nineteenth century literary studies, and papers that propose new ways of conceiving the field, but are open to all submissions. Researchers at all stages are welcomed, and papers from postgraduates are particularly encouraged.
250 word proposals for 20-minute presentations (including a provisional title and brief biography) and related queries should be sent to the BrANCa Conferences Coordinator, Dr. Matthew Pethers at matthew.pethers@nottingham.ac.uk by Monday 30 September 2019.
2. SLAVERY AND TRANSATLANTIC CIRCULATION IN NINETEENTH-CENTURY AMERICAN STUDIES
In keeping with this year’s BAAS conference theme which emphasizes how Liverpool “had a pivotal role in the transatlantic slave trade and was often referred to as the ‘second city’ of the British empire, and … is now committed to addressing its imperial past with the establishment of the International Slavery Museum and Maritime Museum,” BrANCA also welcomes submissions on the more specific topic of the relationship between slavery and the transatlantic circulation of bodies, goods and words. We invite proposals on these topics, and any others related to the interrelationship between slavery and its cultural networks in nineteenth century America and the Atlantic world. Researchers at all stages are welcomed, and papers from postgraduates are particularly encouraged.

3. NINETEENTH-CENTURY AMERICAN LITERATURE IN THE OLD WORLD
In keeping with the 2020 BAAS conference cfp’s emphasis on its host city’s “strong historical, cultural and political links with the Americas” which “brought writers including Washington Irving, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Louisa May Alcott and Herman Melville to Liverpool,” we invite papers that address the reception of nineteenth century American texts in Britain, the reflections of American visitors on their British experiences, or the place of Britain in the wider European imaginary of American writing from this century. Researchers at all stages are welcomed to submit abstracts, and papers from postgraduates are particularly encouraged.
