Talk at 36th EAAS, Bologna (Italy)
Kathleen was part of this year’s EAAS Conference (European Association for American Studies) in Bologna, Italy. The biennial conference brings scholars from across Europe together to share their work in the field of American studies, this year with 350 delegates from over 30 countries. The conference took place from September 1-4.
This year’s topic was “1776–2026: Visions of Freedom,” inspired by the 250th anniversary of U.S. American independence, and explored the topic of freedom across a broad range of disciplines. Kathleen presented her paper “Backwards into the West: Serial Temporalities, Settler Freedoms, and the Logic of the Yellowstone Prequels” as part of a panel on “Re/Generation, Violence, and American Culture Wars: Settler Freedoms in Yellowstone.” It was chaired by Birgit Däwes (Flensburg), and Stefanie Schäfer (Mannheim).
