Understanding Britain 2012 - The First Annual British Studies Conference

Understanding Britain 2012: The First Annual British Studies Conference, to be held in London on 22-24 June 2012, seeks to explore, celebrate and critique the many varied identities of the United Kingdom - its histories, geographies, and cultures - in the context of Olympic and Jubilee Year 2012. We intend that the conference will be of interest and value to the broad community of scholars and researchers in the multidisciplinary field of British Studies at home and abroad. We welcome contributors at any stage of the research process, from graduate students to established academics. We anticipate a wide international take-up. We invite Papers and Panels on themes of relevance in this broad and multidiscplinary field. The agenda for the first event will be determined by the research interests of its contributors, but we will be placing special emphasis on the highly topical question A United Kingdom?
