The Institute of Early American History and Culture invites proposals
for papers and/or panels to be presented at its second annual conference
May 31--June 2, 1996. The Institute's field of interest encompasses all
aspects of the lives of North America's indigenous and immigrant peoples
during the colonial, Revolutionary, and early national periods of the
United States and the related histories of Canada, the Caribbean, Latin
America, the British Isles, Europe, and Africa, from the sixteenth
century to approximately 1815. The meeting will take place at the
University of Colorado, Boulder, and is intended to provide a forum for
the rich diversity of scholarship that characterizes the study of early
America. Advanced graduate students and beginning scholars are
particularly encouraged to apply. The Program Committee is especially
interested in proposals for workshops in teaching new and old topics in
early American history and culture. Organizers should exchange syllabi
and offer the audience suggestions for using new sources, methods, and
aids. Ten copies of submissions, not exceeding three pages and
accompanied by a short-form c.v., should be sent to Professor Gloria L.
Main, Department of History, Campus Box 234, University of Colorado,
Boulder, CO 80309, by September 30, 1995.
