\nBIRTHA POSTGRADUATE CONFERENCE<\/strong>
\n\u201cEMPIRES AND NATIONS: BEYOND THE BRITISH CASE\u201d<\/strong>
\nRoom 3.33, Wills Memorial Building, Queens Rd. BS8 1 RJ
\nThis one-day postgraduate conference \u201cEmpires and Nations: Beyond the British
\nCase\u201d will be held on 25 th April 2017 at the University of Bristol\u2019s Faculty of Arts. It
\naims to provide a friendly and constructive environment for scholarly debate.<\/p>\n
\nThe goal of the conference is to bring together postgraduate researchers working
\non any topic related to the main theme of imperialism, preferably beyond the British
\ncase. Due to the logical dominance of the British imperial past within the broader field
\nof Imperial, Colonial, Postcolonial, and Global History studies in the UK, the aim of
\nthis conference is precisely to focus on other imperial and postcolonial experiences,
\nEuropean as well as non-European, of the 19 th and 20 th centuries. By focusing the
\nconference on cases other than the British, we aim to foster debate with a broader and
\nmore inclusive approach to the complex imperial pasts and colonial legacies of modern
\nsocieties. Thus, we strongly encourage the participation of researchers looking at European as well as non-European imperial experiences.
\nThe core issue of discussion will include (though will not be limited to) the
\ninterrelation and interaction between Empires and Nations in a broad sense. We
\ntherefore welcome papers addressing topics such as nation-building in imperial
\ncontexts, the impact of the imperial experience in the shaping of both colonizing and
\ncolonized societies, the debate on citizenship and political belonging in imperial
\nscenarios, and the configuration of multinational empires, among other themes.
\nIf you wish to present a paper please send a 250 word abstract for a twenty
\nminute paper by 3 March 2017 to Fernando J. Padilla (fp13534@bristol.ac.uk) and
\nDiego Repenning (dr1624@bristol.ac.uk). (For further information about attendance,
\nplease contact us. A programme and registration information will be made available in
\nMarch).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
