Call For Papers and Workshops

Application procedure:

For the themes and topics to be addressed in the plenary sessions, see:

http://www.mith2.umd.edu/summit/program2.htm

You may also propose workshops on companion topics in colonial American studies. Papers and workshops will be selected in accordance with the objectives described in the conference information. All papers are to be written and presented in English. Comparative analyses, transcending linguistic and national boundaries, are strongly preferred. More particular case studies will nevertheless be considered, providing that their conclusions explicitly address broader issues common to the colonial Americas.

Applicants should send a c.v. and a 1-page, single-spaced proposal as attachments in Word for Windows to both conference directors at the addresses listed below. Proposals for more than one session may be submitted with the understanding that only one will be accepted. Each proposal should indicate the session and topic to which it corresponds. Work previously published or under consideration for publication, whether in whole or in part, will not be accepted. THE DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION OF PROPOSALS HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO MAY 15, 2004.
