Event Details

Lancaster University History Department will play host to the Transatlantic Studies Association (TSA) for its annual conference between the 8th and the 10th of July 2019.

The TSA is a broad network of scholars who see the 'transatlantic' as a frame of reference for their work in a variety of disciplines including (but not limited to): history, politics and international relations and literary studies.

Its annual conference attracts scholars from all over the world and has previously taken place at the University of Ghent, the University of North Georgia, and University College Cork amongst others.

The 2019 TSA conference will feature the following keynote lectures:

Professor Trine Flockhart (University of Southern Denmark): 'NATO at 70: Coping with the Cleavage between Liberal Internationalism and Illiberal Nationalism'.

Professor Kevin Hutchings (University of Northern British Columbia): 'Transatlantic Romanticism and British-Indigenous Relations 1800-1850'.

Professor Brian Ward (Northumbria University): 'The Beatles in Miami, 1964: Race, Class and Gender in the Atlantic World'.

It will also feature a plenary roundtable session on 'Transatlantic Relations in the Age of a Rising China.'
