“Britain’s Long Eighteenth Century: Dynamism and Change 1660-1800″
A Graduate Student Conference at the University of Chicago, April 28, 2005
This graduate student conference invites proposals for papers addressing the topic of change in eighteenth-century Britain. We welcome proposals that examine British self-definition as an product of interplay between social and cultural forces and economic and political ones. What drove the construction of social identities, such as those having to do with religion, race, class, or gender? How did these social identities play out in national contexts?
Deadline for proposals: 31 January 2005.
