International Conference “Making Sense of America: Conversations on Matters and Methods”
Co-organized by Mahshid Mayar and Philipp Leonhardt and scheduled to take place at the department of American Studies, University of Innsbruck, on July 2-3, 2026, the international conference “Making Sense of America: Conversations on Matters and Methods” invites Americanists to a two-day exchange on the study of the United States through a multisensory, embodied, co-created, and affective lens.
We seek contributions that engage with the sensory dimensions of American culture, literature, and history, considering them both as a subject of study and as a methodological approach.
Full CfP available here.
