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 network 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 welcome. Some suggestions for proposals include, but are not limited to:
- Teaching the history of crime and justice
- Animals and justice
- Children and crime
- Racial violence
- Minorities, crime, and punishment
- Sexualities and criminal justice
- Technology and crime
- 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/cfp.shtml. Proposals for individual papers are due on February 1, 2006, and for complete sessions are due on February 15, 2006.
