Dear Colleague, The Institute of Film Studies and the School of American and Canadian Studies at The University of Nottingham is holding a special symposium on the topic Subjects/ Citizens, 9.30am-6pm, Saturday 6th December 2003 at The East Concourse Lounge, Portland Building, University Park, The University of Nottingham, Nottingham, NG7 2RD. This will feature papers by both staff and PhD students from American and Canadian Studies, and Film Studies. We are also delighted to announce that Professor George Lipsitz from the University of California will be the Guest Speaker on the day, where he will be presenting his paper titled, 'The Metaphors of Two Worlds and the Culture of War.' We will reimburse the travel expenses (up to £50) of all students who make a formal application to the School for postgraduate study, in either American and Canadian Studies and Film Studies, and as such we would ask you to publicise this event to any interested parties. The symposium provides an important opportunity for potential student researchers to be involved in the kind of research being undertaken in the school by staff and students. There will also be ample opportunity over lunch and during coffee breaks to speak to staff and current students. If any students are interested in attending, they will need to register with Ann McQueen ([log in to unmask]).
