Mapping Fields of Study: Renegotiations of Disciplinary Spaces in the English-Speaking World International Conference
Nancy, France: 9-11 June 2016
Call for Papers – Extended Deadline: 15th January 2016
As part of its research project on the Institutionalisation of Disciplines, the research team IDEA (Interdisciplinarity in English Studies) of the University of Lorraine, France, in partnership with the research teams Savoirs dans l’espace anglophone: representations, culture, histoire (Universite de Strasbourg, France), and Transcultural Anglophone Studies (Saarland University, Germany), will host an international conference on disciplinary organisation and reorganisation in the English-speaking world in Nancy, France, 9-11 June 2016.
This call for papers is addressed to researchers interested in disciplinary organisation or reorganisation, and in the impact of institutional factors in these processes. The conference will focus on disciplinary shifts in the human and social sciences understood in a broad sense, but papers may include a comparative dimension with a range of disciplines that can extend to the natural sciences. The conference will concentrate on disciplinary reconfigurations in the English-speaking world broadly speaking, as well as in countries where English is used as an official language or language of communication.
Papers should be given in English and not exceed 20 minutes in length. Proposals (title, abstract of 250-500 words, and short bio-bibliographical note) should be emailed to Marilyne Brun (marilyne.brun@univ-lorraine.fr) no later than Friday 15th January 2016.
Selected revised articles will be published in a volume.
