The Criminal Justice/Legal History Network of the Social Science History Association invites proposals for panels and individual papers for presentation at the 31st Annual Meeting of the SSHA to be held November 2-5, 2006 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Minneapolis. The SSHA encourages the participation of graduate students and recent Ph.D.s as well as that of more established scholars from a wide range of disciplines and departments.
The theme of the 2006 conference is “Audiences and Publics”, and the network encourages interested parties to interpret this theme broadly. In addition to proposals that reflect the conference’s larger theme, papers and panels that address issues specific to legal history and the history of crime and criminal justice are especially encouraged. Some suggestions for proposals include, but are not limited to:
Teaching the history of crime and justice
Animals and justice
Racial violence
Minorities, crime, and punishment
Sexualities and criminal justice
Lynching
Social Scientists Talk to the Police: Practical Policy and Policing
Violence in the American West
International Perspectives on Crime and Punishment
Crime and popular culture
Criminal Justice and Film, Forensics and Film
All proposals must be submitted electronically through the SSHA website at http://www.ssha.org/ Proposals for individual papers are due on February 1, 2006, and for complete sessions are due on February 15, 2006.
