________________________________ From: Broussard, James <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Monday, December 17, 2018 8:25:11 PM To: Broussard, James Subject: Political History conference--call for papers Call for Papers: Third Annual Conference on American Political History Lebanon Valley College's Center for Political History holds its third annual conference Friday & Saturday, May 31-June 1, 2019, in Annville, PA. There will be two session times Friday afternoon and four on Saturday, with a post-dinner plenary talk Friday evening by Dr. Joanne Freeman of Yale University. Registration is a bargain at only $40, and there will be shuttle service from the Harrisburg airport and Lancaster train station to many local motels and to the college. There are quite a few motels in and around Annville, and dormitory accommodations are available on campus. Proposals on any topic in American political history, broadly construed, are welcome, from pre-contact Native American governance to the 2018 elections. Anyone who organizes a full panel (chair, 3 papers, and 1 or 2 commentators) gets free registration. (This applies only to the person submitting the proposal, not to everyone on the panel; there's a fine line between generosity and bankruptcy.) No CVs or abstracts necessary at this time; all I need are names, emails, and affiliations (and, for presenters, tentative topic or paper title). Deadline is February 15, 2019. I await the flood of top-notch session proposals! We expect to publish the best papers in the first annual volume of a new series, Studies in Political History. If you have any questions, contact me by email, text, phone, or semaphore. Jim Broussard Director, Center for Political History (717) 507-5171
