UCLA Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies

The Pacific Coast Conference on British Studies (PCCBS) invites paper and panel proposals for its thirty‐seventh meeting, to be held at Pomona College in Claremont, California. We solicit the participation of scholars in all areas of British Studies, broadly defined. In particular, we welcome proposals for interdisciplinary panels that draw on the work of historians, literary critics, and scholars in other disciplines whose focus is on Britain and its empire, from the Middle Ages to the present. Proposals for entire panels on a common theme will be given priority, although individual paper proposals will also be considered if several of them can be assembled to create a viable panel. Proposals for roundtable discussions of a topical work, or current issue in the field, or pedagogical practices with respect to the teaching of particular aspects of British Studies are also encouraged. The typical ninety‐minute panel will deliver three papers, each lasting fifteen to twenty minutes, and include the participation of a chair and a commentator. Proposals should include a general description of the panel or roundtable, a 200‐300 word abstract for each paper to be read and a one‐page curriculum vitae for each participant. The address, phone number, and e‐mail address of every participant (including the chair and commentator) must be included in the proposal. For panel or roundtable proposals the name of the main contact person should be noted clearly.

Please send your proposals by Friday, November 13 to:
Professor Thomas Cogswell
Department of History
University of California at Riverside
