We welcome papers on a variety of topics ranging from travel writing to landscape design, photography to public amusements, romanticism to camp meetings, and foodways to consumer culture. We hope to draw scholars from a wide range of disciplines (including but not limited to literature, art history, history, theology, and material culture) in order to generate a lively interdisciplinary discussion. Please send a 500-word abstract for a 20-minute paper along with your C.V.
