The American Society for Environmental History invites proposals for its 2000 meeting in Tacoma, Washington. Paper and session proposals that examine any aspect of human interaction with the physical environment over time are welcome. The program committee especially encourages proposals that focus on the relationships among the practice of environmental history and environmental problems and solutions and that suggest possibilities for future environmental histories. Proposals by contributors in related fields and scholars in foreign countries are welcome. The Program Committee strongly encourages the submission of entire panels that include all presenters, chair, and commentator. Though individual proposals will be considered, they will not be as easy to place on the program as complete ones. Contributors whose paper proposals are accepted can also serve as chair of another session.

Proposals should contain six copies of the following:
1) cover sheet with the full name and affiliation of each panel participant and the title of the session and/or of each paper;
2) a 100-word maximum abstract describing the purpose of the session;
3) a 250-word maximum abstract of each paper; and
4) a two-page maximum c.v. for each participant that includes telephone numbers, mailing addresses, email addresses, and fax numbers. Please do not send additional materials or exceed word limits.

Proposals should be postmarked no later than July 15, 1999. All six copies should be sent to Mart Stewart.
