CALL FOR PAPERS: AAIS Conference

14-17 June 2018, Sant’Anna Institute, Sorrento Italy

The American Association for Italian Studies is now accepting session and roundtable proposals for our next

conference, which will take place from 14-17 June 2018 at the Sant’Anna Institute in Sorrento, Italy. In

keeping with the mission of the AAIS, conference organizers invite members to organize sessions and

roundtables that approach Italian Studies through interdisciplinary lenses and represent a wide range of

interests and time periods. We encourage participation from colleagues working in, for example, African and

African American studies, anthropology, art, architecture, classics, comparative studies, environmental

studies, film and media, geography, history, music, queer studies, theater, women’s, feminist, and gender

studies, and more. Please consult Conference Guidelines for complete norms for organizers, chairs, and

speakers.

Please be advised that due to capacity limits at the Sant’Anna Institute the following guidelines will be

strictly enforced:

In order to organize a session or roundtable, you must be a member in good standing of the AAIS. Nonmembers

may not organize sessions.

Sessions and roundtables with fewer than three speakers or participants will not be accepted.
In proposing sessions and roundtables, please include no more than two individuals from any single

institution.

Graduate students are encouraged to submit proposals ONLY if they are ABD and have already

embarked on the writing of their dissertations. They are asked to submit to session organizers a brief

statement form their advisor affirming their ABD status.

All participants in a session or roundtable must be AAIS members by February 15, 2018. Sessions

including non-members will not be included in the program.
