The Southern Conference on British Studies solicits proposals for its 2012
meeting to be held November 2-3, 2012 in Mobile, Alabama. The SCBS will
meet in conjunction with the Southern Historical Association at the
Renaissance Riverview Plaza Hotel.
The SCBS construes British Studies widely and invites participation by
scholars in all areas of British history and culture, including the Empire or
Commonwealth and the British Isles. Interdisciplinary approaches and
proposals which focus broadly on teaching British studies are especially welcome.

session. For session proposals, two, or, preferably, three papers should relate
to a common theme, not necessarily bound by the usual chronological
framework.
For each paper proposed, please submit an abstract of 200 to 300 words,
indicating the thesis of the paper, the sources and methodology employed in
research, and how it enhances or expands knowledge of its subject. Papers
should have a reading time of twenty to twenty-five minutes. Also, please
submit a curriculum vitae for each participant.
PROPOSALS SHOULD BE POSTMARKED BY FEBRUARY 15, 2011 AND MAILED TO:
