Graduate and Early Career Caucus
The Graduate and Early Career Caucus (GECC) of the North American Conference on British Studies is open to all graduate students and early career scholars who are members in good standing in NACBS, and aims to support, inform, promote, and provide services that benefit the research conducted by these groups. The NACBS GECC hosts a roundtable and workshop during the NACBS annual conference, organizes panels of professional and scholarly interest throughout the academic year, and functions as a direct line of communication with the NACBS Executive Committee.
