WELCOME

The Department of English and North American Studies of the University of Minho at Braga, Portugal, is proud to host the 45th Conference of the Portuguese Association of Anglo-American Studies (APEAA), which will be held on 28-29-30 April, 2025. 

The APEAA conference -- a traditional annual meeting, with a long history dating back to 1980 -- is open to non-members of the Association as well, both from Portugal and abroad. It wishes to provide a lively forum for academic debate and intellectual dialogue on a national and an international level.

The general theme of this year's conference is "Speaking Out: Identity, Resistance and Silencing", a description of which can be found on the Call for papers together with suggestions of possible topics to address. Participants wishing to contribute with papers on other issues regarding English Literature, Language, or Culture, are also welcome. 

The conference organizers are looking forward to welcoming you to Braga in April!
