The annual conference of the Chesapeake American Studies Association
(CHASA) will explore the multifaceted subject of the “everyday” as it
relates to individuals and communities, experiences as citizens and
consumers, and familiar or once-familiar cultural landscapes. We invite
proposals for papers or sessions considering any aspect of everyday life,
and encourage efforts to compose them in “everyday language” (minimal use
of jargon) in order to reach a diverse public audience. Please send
abstracts of no more than 300 words along with a short biographical
statement to Jo Paoletti at jpaol@umd.edu by December 14, 2012.
