Civil Rights in Historical Perspective

The Indiana Association of Historians invites papers and panel proposals for its annual meeting to be held February 27-28, 2004, and hosted by the University of Indianapolis in Indianapolis, Indiana.

The Program Committee is particularly interested in proposals that examine Civil Rights issues, broadly defined, in commemoration of the 50th Anniversary of the Brown v. Board of Education decision and the 40th Anniversary of the Freedom Summer. The committee will consider papers and sessions on all topics, and encourages submissions in the fields of African history, Asian history, Latin American history, gender, and America and the wider world. The committee also welcomes proposals on K-12 history education and public history as well as for poster sessions or roundtables. Graduate students are encouraged to participate.

Conference papers (approximately 10 pages/2,500 words) may be based upon original research, synthesis of scholarship, or participant experience. Sessions will consist of two or three papers with comments.

To submit a proposal for a paper and/or session, send a one-page proposal for each presentation and a one-page c.v. Panel proposals should include a one-page proposal, which specifies the topic of discussion by each participant and a one-page c.v. per participant.

DEADLINE FOR SUBMITTING PAPER AND/OR SESSION PROPOSALS IS November 10, 2003.

E-mail submissions are encouraged and will be accepted until the deadline.
