Call For Papers For 1997 Annual Meeting
The 1997 annual meeting of the American Historical Association will be held in
New York City, 2-5 January. The Program Committee welcomes proposals from all
members of the Association (academic and nonacademic), from scholars in related
disciplines, and from affiliated societies. In addition to welcoming panels in
traditional areas and periods, the Program Committee particularly encourages
proposals on the theme "Huamn Rights." The committee also encourages proposals
that explore the interaction between research and teaching. Proposals for
entire sessions, panels, or workshops are preferred; however, individual paper
proposals will be considered for possible matching. The 1997 session will
pilot a "poster session." In this format, an individual is provided with
space, a period of time, and a listing in the program, during which period he
or she is available (armed with a poster that includes appropriate graphic
illustrations and an abstract of the presentation). This format allows
individual scholars to discuss their work with interested colleagues. It is
also suitable for computer demonstrations, CD-ROM projects, and vidoes.
Proposals should include the cover sheet found on page 14 in AHA _Perspectives_
for September 1995. The first deadline for proposals is 27 October 1995. Send
four copies of the completed proposal to the appropriate chair or cochair
listed below. Individual papers, comparative proposals and sessions related to
Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, and the Middle East should be
sent to Margaret Strobel, Women's Studies Program, c/o Office of Social Science
Research, B-110 BSB, 1007 W. Harrison, University of Illinois, Chicago, IL
60607-7136. Proposals that deal with Europe or North America and all poster
projects should be sent to Michael J. Galgano, Dept. of History, James Madison
University, Harrisonburg, VA 22807.
Thank you,
