The Newberry Library Seminar on American Religious History Co-Sponsored by the University of Chicago Divinity School and the University of Illinois at Chicago

Call for Papers for the 2003-04 academic year

Deadline for submission: May 29, 2003

This seminar provides a forum for "works-in-progress" that explore the religious history of North America from the sixteenths century to World War II. It takes place on one Thursday every month, from 4:00-6:00 pm at the Newberry Library in Chicago.

It is open to graduate students, faculty members, and independent scholars. To maximize the time for discussion, papers are circulated electronically in advance. Priority is given to individuals who are at a stage of their research at which they can best profit from discussion, and to individuals who need a venue to present their work.

If you are interested in presenting a paper, please send a one-page proposal along with a brief c.v. to the address below.

We hope to have established the schedule for 2003-04 soon after May 29, 2003 but may have open slots for proposals that are submitted after that date.

The Newberry Library is unable to provide funds for travel or lodging, but can provide assistance in locating accommodations.

If you would like to be placed on the mailing list to receive announcements of upcoming presentations, or if you would like further information about Newberry Library seminars, phone Rebekah Holmes at the Dr. William M. Scholl Center for Family and Community History at the Newberry Library at 312-255-3524, or send an e-mail to scholl@newberry.org. (Please include your e-mail address with all communications, and let us know if you would be willing to receive announcements by email.)
