The Newberry Library Seminar on American Religious History

Co-sponsored by the University of Chicago Divinity School, Northwestern University, and the University of Illinois at Chicago

CALL FOR PAPERSfor the 2004-05 academic year

Deadline for Submission: June 1, 2004

This seminar provides a forum for “works-in-progress” that explore the religious history of North America from the sixteenth century to World War II. It takes place on one Thursday every month, from 4:00-6:00 P.M. 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 Peter R. D’Agostino.

We hope to have established the schedule for 2004-05 soon after June 1, 2004 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.
