Call for Papers, American Catholic Historical Association, Chicago, January 2012
In keeping with the American Historical Association’s theme of “Communities and Networks,” the American Catholic Historical Association (ACHA) seeks panels that explore the various dimensions of Catholicism in its engagement with society and culture. The 2012 conference in Chicago provides scholars with the opportunity to reflect on a range of topics from transnational to local, such as Catholic progressivism, the importance of material culture, and the changing role of the laity in relation to the institutional church. Topics regarding lay-directed reforms, the impact of religious sexual misconduct, the downsizing of Roman Catholic churches and schools and the decline of religious orders have profound consequences for the direction of Catholic life and culture. ACHA welcomes panels of historians, architects, educators, journalists, and archivists interested in exploring how Catholic communities and networks have functioned in a pluralistic society. We particularly encourage graduate students to apply. Please send your proposals to the 2012 ACHA program committee:
Dr. Malachy R. McCarthy, mccarthym@claretians.org
Ellen Skerrett, ellenskerrett@gmail.com
Dr. Larissa Juliet Taylor, ljtaylor@colby.edu
The deadline for ACHA individual or session proposals is May 15th
