[Discussion] Empire, Borderlands and Border Cultures

[Sule Tarakcioglu]

Empire, Borderlands and Border Cultures
Location: California, United States

California State University Stanislaus will host a conference on "Empire,
Borderlands and Border Cultures on March 16-18, 2006.

In an effort to facilitate a wide-ranging and interdisciplinary conversation
about empire, scholars working in a variety of disciplines are invited 
to submit
papers. We hope participants will address the issues of empire from 
antiquity to
postmodernity, on every continent and from many cultures, including 
topics such
as diaspora, immigration, reverse colonization, imperialism and visual 
culture,
gender and empire, the empire in popular culture, and the construction of
national, religious and ethnic identities.

One page vitas and proposals for a 20 minute paper should be mailed to:

Betsy Eudey (BEudey@csustan.edu)
or
Arnold Schmidt (AShmidt@csustan.edu)

Panel proposals are welcome. No attachments please.
