K-SAA Comms Team: Call for Contributions Fall 2021
The Keats-Shelley Association of America (K-SAA) Communications Team invites proposals for contributions to our Blog.
We particularly welcome submissions from postgraduate researchers and early career researchers, but the call is open to anyone with an interest in the Keats-Shelley circle. We also invite submissions that consider the literature and history of the Romantic period more broadly.
Please send a pitch of no more than 100 words to the K-SAA Comms Team email: ksaacomm@gmail.com
Your proposal should be for a 1000-word contribution to one series on the Blog. Below is a summary of the series we currently run.
We are happy to promote new publications and significant events in the field and we hope to develop new connections with other associations and projects by opening this call. Do get in touch if you have any questions.
Deadline: Monday 1st November 2021.
Uncovering the Archive
We invite proposals that feature:
Interviews with curators, academics, and museums professionals, working on or with archival documents and artefacts;
Explorations of digital humanities projects focused on the Romantic period
Spotlight pieces on certain collections, manuscripts, or artefacts
A particular focus on anti-racist and canon-busting work would be welcomed.
What Are You Reading?
Would you like to be interviewed about your reading, your research, your teaching and your passion for the Romantics? We would like to interview scholars in the field of Romantic studies, in particular postgraduate and early-career researchers and those creating new work and new perspectives on study of the Romantic period. Would you like to suggest a scholar you’d like to see us interview, are you a Postgraduate or Early Career Researcher who would like to guest interview an author of a new publication for us? Get in touch – we are open to ideas and suggestions.
