Britishness - The View From Abroad
5 - 6 June 2008
Huddersfield, United Kingdom
The Centre for Constructions and Identity at the University of Huddersfield is organizing a two day conference to be held on 5th-6th June 2008. The main theme of the conference is 'Britishness' within global contexts, addressing such issues as
transnationality of identity, British diasporas, representations of Britishness in non-British media, education and culture, and the implications of dual citizenship across the former Empire and beyond.
Keynote speakers and plenary participants already confirmed include Professor Sir Bernard Crick (University of Edinburgh), Professor Krishan Kumar (University of Virginia), Shahid Mailk MP, Professor Christopher G. A. Bryant (University of
Salford), and Professor Paul Ward (University of Huddersfield) .
The conference will provide an integrated programme of presentations from invited keynote speakers, plenary sessions, and a number of themed invitational panels addressing the core themes (including a dedicated post-graduate poster presentation session).
We would invite abstract submissions of 300 words from those interested in presenting papers to the organizers by November 1st 2007.
