The John Morton Center for North American Studies, established at the University of Turku in 2014, invites proposals for previously unpublished papers for its inaugural conference, \u201cBridging North America: Connections and Divides,\u201d to be held on August 28-30, 2014. The conference seeks to bring together junior and senior scholars from inter\/disciplinary backgrounds
\nfrom the social sciences and the humanities to explore various cultural, socioeconomic, geographic, and political connections and divides between the United States, Canada, and Mexico, and their global ramifications. The papers may deal with either historical perspectives or contemporary issues, and they may include both empirical and theoretical considerations. We particularly encourage submissions that engage in interdisciplinary and multi-methodological discussions on the study of North America.<\/p>\n

Topics for paper presentations may include:
\n\u2022 bridges, borders, and boundaries
\n\u2022 the movement of people, goods, and services
\n\u2022 information flows, leaks, and security
\n\u2022 continental economies, policies, and politics
\n\u2022 transnational relationships
\n\u2022 identity formations, identity transformations, and identity politics
\n\u2022 cultural expressions, sporting practices, and visual representations
\n\u2022 interdisciplinary theories and practices<\/p>\n
