• January 2012 Call for Panel Sponsorships *

The Society for Historians of the Gilded Age and Progressive Era (SHGAPE) co-sponsors panels with the AHA and the OAH at their annual meetings. It also sponsors independent panels at both meetings. The 2013 AHA meets in New Orleans, January 3-6; the 2013 OAH meets in San Francisco, April 11-14, 2012. For both the AHA and OAH, the SHGAPE deadline for proposing panels is February 15, 2012.

Those who propose panels to the OAH or AHA program committees may have SHGAPE co-sponsor panels if you send a copy of the complete proposal to the SHGAPE Program Committee before the February 15 deadline so that they can be considered by the SHGAPE program committee. When appropriate, the SHGAPE Program Committee will then request co-sponsorship.

It is also possible to propose independent SHGAPE panels as an affiliated society at the AHA and at the OAH. Our own deadline for proposing panels to both organizations is May 1, 2012. To have your panel considered as part of SHGAPE's program, send a complete copy of the proposal to the Program Committee at the address below, by e-mail with attachment. The SHGAPE Program Committee will be happy to assist members in organizing and proposing sessions on the Gilded Age and Progressive Era.
