The World of Bob Dylan International Conference

May 30-June 2, 2019, Tulsa
CFP Deadline: January 15, 2019
Conference web site
Hosted by The University of Tulsa Institute for Bob Dylan Studies in Tulsa, OK

In 2016, the George Kaiser Family Foundation and the University of Tulsa jointly announced the acquisition of the Bob Dylan Archive-an extraordinary collection of material that includes over 6,000 items, including recordings, manuscripts, film, notebooks and much more.

Rather than trying to work around a single theme, this symposium welcomes proposals on any topic related to Dylan's music, art, life, and context.

Individual Proposals

The organizing committee welcomes proposals for 15 to 20-minutes papers and presentations. To submit, please send a title, a 250-word abstract that summarizes the topic and complete contact information (name, email, and any institutional affiliation). The organizers will group these papers into panels.

Panel Proposals

Panels consist of three or four speakers focused on a common topic or idea. To submit a panel proposal, the chair should send a 500-word abstract that includes a name for the session as well as presentation titles for each participant. The chair and each proposed panelist should provide an email address and any institutional affiliation.

Roundtable Proposals

These special sessions are meant to encourage conversation, debate, and the exchange of ideas around broadly compelling topics (e.g. Cover Songs or Teaching Dylan). Roundtables should be proposed by a single moderator and may include up to five participants. The focus should be on conversation among the panelists and the audience rather than on the delivery of prepared remarks. Roundtable proposals should include 250-word summaries of the topic to be explored along with the names and email addresses of the chair and each participant.
