Immigrant Massachusetts, 1840-2000
May 18-20, 2000
The Massachusetts Historical Society announces its Spring conference,
"Immigrant Massachusetts, 1840-2000." Participants in the conference will
review the long and important story of immigration to the state, in the
process placing recent developments in historical context. Topics for
discussion panels include: coming to Massachusetts, becoming American,
creating communities, ethnicity and public life, the Lawrence strike of
1912, and transplanting faiths.
Because the Society wants to provide the maximum opportunity for discussion,
all papers except the keynote address will be distributed in advance to
everyone who preregisters. Program sessions will consist of brief statements
by the essayists, remarks by assigned commentators, and discussion from the
floor.
Space is limited and will be filled on a first-come-first-served basis. The
registration fee is $60.00 ($35.00 for students). If interested, please
contact Erin Pipkin at (617) 646-0505 or epipkin@masshist.org in order to
receive a schedule and registration form.
