The PGF Conference 2015

Like every year, the PGF 2015 brought together young scholars of American Studies (PhD & post-doctorate level) for presentation-based discussions of current issues in the field. In addition, this year’s PGF featured a poetry reading by emerging queer feminist poet Laura Passin and a roundtable discussion on career opportunities for graduates in American Studies, focusing especially on career possibilities outside academia.
