2025 Annual Meeting

Call for Papers

St. Louis, Missouri

10 October 2025

​

We are excited to announce that our next WCBS annual conference will be held at Washington University in St. Louis on 10 October 2025. 

 

This year, WCBS returns to an open theme for its conference. Scholars are invited to pursue all aspects of British studies. The deadline for panel and paper proposals will be 15 May  2025. The WCBS Program Committee seeks to design a meeting that is both interdisciplinary and wide-ranging in its temporal span. Scholars of Britain, the British Atlantic World, and the British Empire broadly defined are invited to participate.
 

Professor Nicole Breault of the University of Texas at El Paso will give the keynote address.

​

The committee welcomes proposals for both individual papers and full panels, and it encourages graduate student submissions. Proposals should include a 250-word abstract of each paper and a short curriculum vitae for each participant. Full panel proposals should also include a brief description of the panel’s overall aim and indicate clearly the panel’s organizer and primary contact.

 

Please submit proposals, in Word format, via email with ‘WCBS 2025’ in the subject line to Arunima.Datta@unt.edu by the end of the day on 15 May 2025.
