Britishness - The View From Abroad

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.
