The conference Contemporary Horizons in English Studies casts a wide
net, encompassing diverse areas and perspectives within the field of
English Studies. As we reflect on decades of growth in English studies
and the 70-year history of our department, we also look toward the new
horizons that continue to expand the boundaries of our discipline.
Inspired by our department’s interdisciplinary spirit, the theme
highlights a variety of research, teaching, and creative work taking
place across English studies. In celebration of the 70th anniversary
of the Department of English Studies at the University of Zadar, we
warmly invite scholars and practitioners whose work is grounded in
diverse areas, such as linguistics, applied linguistics, second
language acquisition, literature, culture, media, film, literary
translation and translation studies, to participate at the conference.
We welcome proposals that engage with contemporary debates and explore
innovative approaches, including but not limited to the following
areas of interest:
 - British and American Literature
 - Literary and Cultural Theory
 - Postcolonial Studies
 - Gender Studies
 - Cultural Studies
 - Film, Media, and Popular Culture
 - Literary Translation and World Literature
