"Indigenous/American Pasts and Futures"
2022 Call for Proposals
Our first vision, to which we remained dedicated: Across the world, as many as 500 million Indigenous people—defined by and tied to long histories in place—struggle on the front lines of climate change and global pandemic, even as they fight the legacies of violent histories of dispossession. Their histories matter, both around the planet and in the United States. While historians now routinely gesture toward settler colonialism, and Native histories win major prizes, it is still the case that American Indian, Alaska Native, and Kanaka Maoli peoples struggle to find a place in historical narratives focused on American national politics, racial formation, capitalism, slavery, immigration, citizenship, rights, and other familiar organizing principles. The integration of indigeneity into the field of American history has proceeded in fits and starts—and indeed, Native histories are still subject to the erasures predicted by settler colonial theory.

The 2022 meeting of the OAH invites participants to triangulate, incorporate, and synthesize Indigenous histories in order to explore questions and narratives that transform American history. Our provocations encourage specific engagement with place and space: How does the climate crisis shape our understanding of Native continental ecologies, the long tail of pipeline resistances, and pasts and futures with and without carbon energy? Can we reimagine a “deep” North American history freed of a Euro-centric concept of pre-history? How do we understand and recognize the nature of wealth transfer enabled by Indigenous lands, from the first treaties to the eminent domain seizures characteristic of water and carbon regimes? How does the presence of the Indigenous change the ways we talk about borders and immigration?

We invite participants to propose new ways of seeing the past and reckoning with its possibilities: How do American Indian histories change our picture of American constitutional politics, particularly in terms of the nature of rights-bearing subjects and political collectivities? How would an enriched dialogue among Continental, Pacific, and Atlantic worlds alter early American history? How does the Indigenous transform understandings of gender and sexuality? How do different forms of (Indigenous) racialization complicate and transform our understanding of enslavement, anti-blackness and white supremacy, the carceral, disability, and domestic militarization? Finally, we seek to instigate new conversations about American expressive and performative culture that center Indigenous culture-producers, particularly musicians and visual artists. Where and how do Indigenous artists evade the deep shadow of primitivism and shape the past and present of American cultural production? The Organization of American Historians 2022 meeting will offer opportunities to consider these and other issues, as we invite papers and sessions that seek to locate the Indigenous in the broad sweep of American history.

Revisions to the Call for Papers
At the same time that we remain deeply committed to “The Indigenous” as a critical organizing principle for our annual meeting, the 2022 Program Committee also recognizes the important transformations accompanying the conjunctural crises of mid-2020—pandemic disease, economic dislocation, mass resistance to structural racial inequity, and continued degradation of the American political system. While we cannot anticipate the uncertainties of the months that lie ahead, we know that the work of making sense of the present demands the insights of history and the labor of historians.  We issue this revised call in June 2020, with an invitation to members of the Organization of American Historians to propose bold, ambitious sessions that engage both the long and recent histories of the unfolding present.

We also encourage OAH members to consider the ways that the crises of 2020 force the Organization of American Historians to confront the existential challenges to membership organizations such as our own. Concerned with issues surrounding climate change, serious fiscal constraint, and safe gathering practices, we also encourage proposals that engage both live and digital formats as we work to develop models for a hybrid conference. We particularly encourage self-reflective problem-solving sessions that consider challenges to the “annual meeting” model and contemplate a range of future possibilities.

Those proposing panels and papers for the 2022 meeting will be asked to select among two options: (1) Digital session only, (2) In-person only. We encourage submitters not to see digital sessions as substitutes, but rather as sites for necessary experimentation, innovation, and expanded accessibility, and as opportunities to reach out to audiences—K-12 teachers, public historians, adjunct faculty and community college instructors, those with limits on their ability to travel, and even a general public—who otherwise might not be able to join in the activities of the OAH meeting.  Still in development, the Digital OAH meeting will run parallel to and yet in close connection with the meeting in Boston, with different fee structures and perhaps distinct organizing principles. It will draw on experiences yet to be experienced, as conferences, teaching and other digital formats are developed and tested over the next two years. As a program committee, we are frankly guessing at what may be possible and appropriate in 2022, and so we welcome the innovation and creativity of our members as we contemplate together possibilities for the future.

As always, the Program Committee welcomes proposals from all areas and eras of American and U.S. transnational history, broadly conceived. While we imagine ways that the Indigenous might be linked to virtually every subject historians study and teach—including our invitation to address the history of the present—the committee does not expect all papers and sessions to adhere to the conference theme. The OAH meeting will continue to be a site for wide-ranging conversation, a place to talk across subfields, to experiment with methods, topics, and presentation, and especially to learn from one another. Now more than ever, the committee encourages proposals for panels, workshops, and roundtables that transcend traditional disciplinary and geographic boundaries, that showcase work that reaches to a broader public and that explores new presentation formats. We welcome teaching sessions, particularly those that involve the audience as active participants, and we strongly encourage sessions that consider future models for professional organizations such as OAH in relation to the very real challenges to our current mode of operation.

The program will of course aim to reflect the full diversity of the OAH membership in the United States and abroad. We especially hope to include public historians, archivists, curators, and independent scholars as well as those teaching at universities, colleges, community colleges, and secondary schools. Whenever possible, proposals should include presenters of different genders, different racial and ethnic backgrounds, and different levels of seniority in the profession. We prefer to receive proposals for complete sessions but will consider individual paper proposals as well.

IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT SUBMITTING

Registration and Membership Requirements
All participants are required to register for the Annual Meeting. Participants who specialize in American history and support themselves as American historians (whether academic, public, or independent) are also required to be members of the OAH. Participants representing other disciplines are not required to be members of the OAH.

Repeat Participation
OAH policy prohibits individuals from participating in two consecutive annual meetings in the same role and limits individuals to appearing only once on the program in a given year. If you have questions about this policy, e-mail the OAH meetings <mailto:[log in to unmask]> department.

Diversity of Session Participants
At its fall 2014 meeting, the OAH Executive Board adopted the following Program Committee Directives on Gender, Racial, Ethnic, Sexual, Religious, (Dis)ability, and LGBTQ Diversity: 1) The Program Committee will actively promote the full inclusion of racial and ethnic minorities, religious minorities, people with disabilities, women, and LGBTQ people on the Annual Meeting program. 2) While not all sessions can reflect the entire diversity of the profession, the Program Committee will encourage proposers of sessions to include diverse sets of participants, addressing gender diversity, racial and ethnic diversity, sexual diversity, religious diversity, disability-based diversity, and/or LGBTQ diversity. 3) The Program Committee will encourage session proposers to consider the benefits of including on their panels historians in various career paths and of various ranks (i.e., senior scholars, public historians, graduate students, independent historians, and non-tenure track faculty, including all adjunct, part-time, and contingent faculty etc.) within their organizations/institutions.

There are no bars against inviting doctoral students to participate, but sessions in which all the participants are graduate students should be avoided and senior scholars should be asked to do more than just chair or comment. Most sessions should include a range of scholars representing different age, generational, and career cohorts.

Scheduling
The conference takes place from Thursday through Saturday (half and full day workshops will occur on Sunday). Though OAH committee and affiliate conflicts will be taken into consideration during the scheduling process, you must be available to present during this three day period.
Organization of American Historians | 112 N Bryan Ave, Bloomington, IN 47408-4141
