Upon first glance\, American Studies is most commonly associated with a place: the Western Hemisphere\, North and South America\, or the Un ited States as a stand-alone or in relationship to other countries. Schola rship further divides this vast region into smaller units\, such as states and cities\, to draw conclusions about an area. Place\, however\, is but one morsel of what this discipline entails. Time\, both contemporary and h istorical\, provides additional context for understanding the metamorphosi s of an idea\, a movement\, or a region. As a study rooted in the humaniti es\, this is also the study of people: what they think\, how they express themselves\, how and where they move\, and the tensions between the indivi dual and her/his/their community are just a few of the questions we grappl e with in our research. Thus\, this year's theme\, &ldquo\;The Local and t he Global in American Studies&rdquo\; is meant to inspire work on these no tions\, while also asking what the boundaries of these concepts are and ho w far we\, as scholars\, can expand them to include what has yet to be int roduced into the field. \;
\nThe graduate students in the Americ an Studies Department at the University of Alabama invite proposals from g raduate students and scholars on topics across all time periods that can b e creatively related to the intersections between local\, national and tra nsnational communities\, while keeping in mind that a community need not b e tied to traditional notions about place and time. In keeping with the in terdisciplinary nature of American Studies\, the program committee welcome s proposals from fields including\, but not limited to\, race\, gender\, a nd LGBTQ studies\, history\, art (visual\, audio\, performance)\, literatu re\, music\, social sciences\, media studies\, disability studies\, and en vironmental studies.
