British Association of American Studies (BAAS) Annual Conference 2025
Where: University of Hertfordshire
When: April 23rd – April 25th, 2025
Description: We look forward to welcoming the American Studies community to Hatfield between 23rd and 25th April 2025 for the 70th Anniversary BAAS conference. Alongside our usual practice of accepting work in any area of American Studies we also aim to have two key strands within the conference:
- ‘1955’: We will be thinking about 1955 as a flashpoint year. We welcome proposals about key 1955 events/culture (e.g., the opening of Disneyland; the Montgomery Bus Boycott; Emmett Till’s murder; On the Waterfront at the Oscars) and their aftermath/longue durée.
- ‘American Studies Today’: We want to think about the history, shape, and development of American Studies (especially in the UK), as well as the discipline’s present and future in an era of higher education crisis.
Institution: British Association of American Studies (BAAS)
