The North American Conference on British Studies program committee is interested in arranging a special session on the Jubilee for the 2012 Montreal meeting. This would be a great opportunity for comparisons to Victoria's Golden and Diamond Jubilees and the social/cultural history of jubilee years (for ex., 1977 or 1935), and a discussion about the celebrity culture of monarchy. Ifinterested, please contact Julie Taddeo at taddeo@mail.umd.edu to discuss a possible panel.
