Call for proposals: The K-SAA Blog
The Keats-Shelley Association of America (K-SAA) Communications Team invites proposals for contributions to our Blog. We particularly welcome submissions from postgraduate researchers, early career researchers, and independent scholars, but the call is open to anyone with an interest in the Keats-Shelley circle. We also invite submissions that consider the literature and history of the Romantic period more broadly. Please send a pitch of no more than 100 words to Anna Mercer: mercera1@cardiff.ac.uk
Your proposal should be for a 1000-word contribution to one series on the Blog. Below is a summary of the series we currently run, curated by our Communications Fellows Mariam Wassif and Amy Wilcockson. We are happy to promote new publications and significant events in the field and we hope to develop new connections with other associations and projects by opening this call. Do get in touch if you have any questions.
Deadline: 22 April 2021
