The theme of this year's conference is "Victorian Transnationalism: The Atlantic Legacy in the Long 19th Century." As the site of a decisive American victory in the War of 1812, our conference site, Plattsburgh, N.Y., is a testament to the fraught history of the “special relationships” between Britain and her neighbors across the pond. The town is home to an annual re-enactment of the Battle of Plattsburgh as well as historical sites relevant for scholars of the nineteenth century. We encourage papers across all disciplines exploring various aspects of the relations among and between the UK, Canada, the US, and other nations and regions across the Americas.

Dates: Oct. 11-13, 2012
Location: SUNY Plattsburgh, which is situated on beautiful Lake Champlain (across from Burlington, VT), and an hour south of Montreal.

To submit: By March 5, 2012, email 300-word abstracts and a 1-page CV (name on BOTH) to: Genie Babb at gbabb001@plattsburgh.edu.
