The seventeenth HCA Spring Academy on American Culture, Economics,
Geography, History, Literature, Politics, and Religion will be held from
March 23-27, 2020. The Heidelberg Center for American Studies (HCA)
invites applications for this annual one-week conference that provides
twenty international Ph.D. students with the opportunity to present and
discuss their Ph.D. projects.

The HCA Spring Academy will also offer participants the chance to work
closely with experts in their respective fields of study. For this
purpose, workshops held by visiting scholars will take place during this
week.

We encourage applications that range broadly across the arts,
humanities, and social sciences and pursue an interdisciplinary
approach. Papers can be presented on any subject relating to the study
of the United States of America. Possible topics include American
identity, issues of ethnicity, gender, transatlantic relations, U.S.
domestic and foreign policy, economics, as well as various aspects of
American history, literature, religion, geography, law, musicology, and
culture.

Participants are requested to prepare a 20-minute presentation of their
research project, which will be followed by a 40-minute discussion.
Proposals should include a preliminary title and run to no more than 300
words. These will be arranged into ten panel groups.

In addition to cross-disciplinary and international discussions during
the panel sessions, the Spring Academy aims at creating a pleasant
collegial atmosphere for further scholarly exchange and contact.

Accommodation will be provided by the Heidelberg Center for American
Studies.

Thanks to a small travel fund, the Spring Academy is able to subsidize
travel expenses for participants registered and residing in developing
and soft-currency countries. Scholarship applicants will need to
document the necessity for financial aid and explain how they plan to
cover any potentially remaining expenses. In addition, a letter of
recommendation from their doctoral advisor is required.
