Following turns to the transnational and hemispheric, early Americanists are now extending their view of America to attend to global oceanic and terrestrial contexts. Our mini-conference at BYU on January 23rd will interrogate the possibilities this global turn opens and the challenges it presents. In order to promote true interdisciplinarity, each panel features both a historian and a literary scholar whose work demonstrates the potential of this productive development in early American scholarship. The conference is open to both faculty and students interested in attending.
Panel A, 9:30-11:30 a.m. (238 HRCB):
