The Vernacular Architecture Forum invites paper proposals for its Annual Meeting in Fresno, California, May 7-10, 2008. The conference theme is "In the Garden of the Sun: California's San
Joaquin Valley." Although papers may address any aspect of the cultural landscape worldwide, submissions are welcomed on topics related to the conference theme, such as the settlement of the
San Joaquin Valley, the New Deal in California, agricultural landscapes of the North American West, the immigrant experience and the shaping of communities, the spatial and social impact of
railroads and irrigation canals, Native American communities, and vernacular landscapes of the National Parks. Proposals may be for a twenty-minute paper, or for a ten-minute "work in progress/notes from the field presentation." Papers should be theoretical or analytical in nature, rather than descriptive. Proposals must: be one-page; be fewer than 400 words; include paper title, author's name and email address; state clearly the argument of the paper and explain the methodology and content. Please send a one-page CV. Accepted papers must be submitted in full to the session chairs by March 14, 2008. Presenters must deliver their papers in person and be VAF members at the time of the conference. Electronic submissions in Word format are preferred.
