Association Française dEtudes Américaines (AFEA) / French Association for American Studies Graduate Student Symposium 2015 – Université de La Rochelle, May 27, 2015 Call for presentations The French Association for American Studies invites doctoral students in American studies to take part in the Graduate Symposium (“Doctoriales”) specifically organized on their behalf during its annual conference. This years workshops will be held on Wednesday May 27, 2015 (9.30 am to 6 pm.) at the Université de La Rochelle (France). The conference will take place on May 27 to 30, 2015. For further information, please check our website : afea.fr Since 2008, the AFEA has been encouraging the internationalization of its Graduate Student Symposium by offering grants (up to 500 euros each) for a maximum of ten European candidates (other than French) to help cover their travel expenses. All students are, in addition, invited to attend the whole conference free of registration charges. The symposium provides an opportunity for Ph.D. students to present their research in a less formal session than that of a full conference panel, and confront it to that of other European scholars. Doctoral students may be at an early or more advanced stage of their research. The proposals will be commented upon by professors specializing in related fields of expertise. Candidates are invited to give their presentations in English within one of the two workshops offered: 1) American literature, or 2) “American civilization” (history, sociology, political science...). Proposals relevant to both fields (film studies, visual arts or music, for instance), or to another field (such as translation studies or linguistics) can be sent to either of the co-chairs. APPLICATIONS - Candidates must send a Curriculum Vitae and a 500-word abstract summarizing their dissertation proposal plus an estimated budget of traveling expenses and funding otherwise available to them. - Proposals in civilization must be sent electronically to both Professors Luc Benoit à la Guillaume (lucbenoit2@gmail) and Anne Ollivier-Mellios ( [email protected]) - Proposals in literature must be sent electronically to both Professors Françoise palleau-papin ([email protected]) and Mathieu Duplay ([email protected]) - Deadline for application : February 15, 2015. The symposium organizers will respond to all applicants by March 15, 2015. Professors Luc Benoit à la Guillaume, Mathieu Duplay, Anne Ollivier-Mellios, Françoise palleau-papin.
