This year’s theme, American Protest Cultures: Protest, Dissent, and the Cultural Politics of the United States, invites contributions on the many forms, histories, and meanings of protest in and around the United States. The Conference takes place at Radboud University in Nijmegen from 4 to 6 November 2026. The deadline for submissions is Friday, 8 May 2026.

The conference welcomes proposals for individual papers, panels, roundtables, and workshops. We are especially interested in interdisciplinary and transnational perspectives, including work that engages the United States in relation to Canada, Mexico, and broader hemispheric or global contexts.

We are also very pleased that the conference will feature keynote lectures by Prof. Stefania Milan (University of Amsterdam), Prof. Wilfried Raussert (Bielefeld University), and Prof. Stephen Tuck (London Interdisciplinary School).

The deadline for submissions is Friday, 8 May 2026. Further details are available on the conference website.
