The 22nd annual meeting of the Society of Historians of the Early
American Republic will take place in Buffalo, New York, July 20-23,
2000. The featured theme of the meeting will be "Cultivating the
Republic." The Program Committee invites proposals for papers and
sessions that examine how people in the period between the Revolution
and the Civil War sought to improve society, identify American
cultures, shape republican sensibilities, and cultivate the natural
world, as well as how these activities may have operated to exclude
certain peoples from the Republic. As always, the Program Committee
will give equal consideration to proposals in other areas of research
that reflect the diversity and vitality of scholarship on the early
republic.
The Program Committee will use the H-SHEAR network and website to post
abstracts of as many papers as possible.
Proposals for individual papers or entire sessions (at least two papers
per session) should be sent by January 15, 2000 to Joyce Chaplin at the address below.
Proposals should include a one-page prospectus for each paper and a
brief c. v. for all participants. Scholars who would like to serve as
chairs or commentators are invited to write the Program Chair as
well. Unless affiliated with disciplines other than history, panelists
are required to be members of SHEAR.
