The 2000 annual conference of the New England American Studies Association will be held at the University of Southern Maine in Portland on April 29 and 30, 2000. We invite proposals for papers and panels that question and explore the many ways that ethnic and racial identities in New England have been invented, constructed, hidden, and preserved. Subject areas might include (but need not be limited to) the role of ethnicity and race in any aspect of the region's literary, visual, religious, economic, and material cultures. Situated in a region that earlier scholars identified as the starting point for a national culture, NEASA welcomes submissions that re-examine the configuration of ethnicity in New England. The conference will explore how such ethnic and racialized identities have been revealed and concealed and how the interact with traditional notions of New England's role in American life. Panelists may address any time period. To encourage a wide range of papers we welcome submissions from educators from all levels, activists, and practitioners in fields such as Ethnic Studies.
