CALL FOR PAPERS for the 2005-06 academic year

Deadline for Submission: 1 June 2005

This seminar provides a forum for “works-in-progress.” We distribute papers in advance to those who plan to attend, allowing full time for discussion during seminar meetings. In selecting presenters, we give priority to scholars and advanced graduate students who are at a stage in their work when they can profit best from discussion. The seminar meets on selected Saturdays during the academic year from 11:00-3:00 p.m. at the Newberry Library in Chicago.

It is open to graduate students, faculty members, independent scholars, and professionals in related fields. 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 and have questions, please contact Professor John Fry (e-mail address and telephone number provided below).

To apply, please send a one-page proposal along with a brief c.v. to Aaron Shapiro, Dr. William M. Scholl Center for Family and Community History, The Newberry Library, 60 W. Walton St., Chicago, IL 60610; e-mail: shapiroa@newberry.org; phone (312) 255-3681; fax (312) 255-3696.

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