"The 2013 International Meeting of the American Conference for Irish Studies
Ireland Past and Present
...
April 10-13, 2013
Chicago, IL
Hosted by DePaul University, Chicago and Northern Illinois University, DeKalb
While all cultures use selective narratives of the past to make sense of the present and chart the future, connections between the past and present seem to loom particularly large in Ireland’s historical and cultural imagination. Along these lines the conference organizers invite scholars to submit paper proposals that examine the past/present dynamic in Irish and/or Irish diaspora history, literature and culture. Along with papers that address the conference theme, we are interested in using the conference to highlight the most exciting recent work in Irish Studies scholarship. With that in mind, we welcome submissions addressing any and all topics or themes relevant to Irish Studies. Both individual paper and panel (3-4) submissions are welcomed, as are proposals for presentations in non-traditional formats (posters, performances, exhibits, etc). Proposals should be 250-300 words in length, and should include a brief bio (50 words) of the author. Panel proposals should include 250-300 word proposals from each panel submitter, plus bios for each author. Please send proposals or questions to the ACIS 2013 Selection Committee .... The deadline for submission is November 1, 2013."

Call for Papers -- Midwest ACIS Regional Meeting 2012
"Call for Papers Reminder: Midwest ACIS Regional Meeting
Emancipation: Ireland and the World
The Midwest Region of the American Conference for Irish Studies will be holding its 2012 meeting in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on the campus of Marquette University from October 18-20, 2012. With its theme of “Emancipation: Ireland and the World,” the conference hopes to encourage us to think about the concepts of freedom and citizenship as expressed by the Irish at home and around the world. With its clear links to the long struggle for Catholic rights that culminated in 1829, emancipation raises questions about the part played by the Irish and Irish-Americans in the abolitionist and pro-slavery camps in the USA, as well as in the fight for women’s rights and for the freedom of colonized peoples in a...ll parts of the British Empire. It could also focus on the struggles between economic, cultural, and political interconnectedness on the one hand and national sovereignty on the other, which are at the heart of contemporary debate. Lastly, emancipation spotlights the role of creative Irish men and women in stretching academic inquiry and artistic expression beyond the constraints of their society and disciplines.
As such, we welcome proposals from individuals as well as from panels (of three or four presenters) of approximately 250 words in length. We especially encourage graduate students and emerging scholars to consider submitting paper proposals to this conference. In keeping with the conference theme, we would welcome papers that highlight new and challenging approaches to research, and we welcome submissions addressing any and all topics or themes relevant to Irish studies. Please be sure to include full contact information for all panelists with each submission, including (where appropriate) their academic affiliation. Proposals should be sent to the attention of Tim McMahon no later than June 1, 2012. For more information, contact Tim and watch the ACIS Facebook Page."
