NAVSA Conference 2011

Vanderbilt University (Nov. 3-6, 2011)


The North American Victorian Studies Association invites proposals for its annual conference in Nashville, TN, November 3-6, 2011. We seek papers related to the conference theme of “Performance and Play,” in keeping with the conference’s location in Nashville, a historic center for musical and artistic innovation. Featured speakers will include Tom Gunning, Catherine Robson, and Carolyn Williams. Participants will also have the opportunity to sign up for topic-based seminars in which members pre-circulate 5-page position papers for discussion.

View the CFP for this year's conference, "Performance at Play." Abstracts are due Mar. 1, 2011.
