The North American British Music Studies Association is excited to announce our 2022 biennial conference July 21-24 at Illinois State University and online. The conference will feature 45 papers, one lecture recital, and two keynote speakers, Falu Bakrania and Jessie Ann Owens. Those attending in person can take a tour of Milner Library Special Collections and enjoy King Lear at the (outdoor) Illinois Shakespeare Festival. COVID-19 safety will be a top priority throughout the conference.
