Hi Dan,

I would very much like to propose a paper for an ADHS session at the
AHA, on something related to opium, but I have to check about the dates,
which may take about a week.  I don't think my work would fit into the
existing session, but I would love to do something about either the role
of opium sales and policies in the late colonial states of Southeast
Asia (particularly the relationship to the civilizing mission ideology)
or something about the politics of opium prohibition in the 1920s.

A couple of years ago I think I also talked with Scott Haine about a
pedagogical session.  I have taught an honors course on the concept of
prohibition (not merely of drugs or alcohol, but mostly about those two
commodities) and could easily give a paper about that as well.

Again, I have to make sure I am free for those dates, but wanted to see
about interest level before I do that.

Thanks,
Anne

Dear colleagues
As many of you know, the ADHS usually has several sessions every year 
at the American Historical Association meeting annual meeting.

Given the origins of the ADHS, these sessions have tended to be 
alcohol related.

We would like to expand the scope of those presentations, and are 
issuing a call for papers for the ADHS sessions at the AHA.  Egads, 
so many acronyms.

This is therefore a call for papers or session ideas. We are looking 
for one paper to add into a session already created that is currently 
on alcohol, public spaces and writers.  We are expanding that session 
to include drugs, public spaces and writers.  We need one paper for 
that session

We are looking for an additional session that has drugs or mix of 
drug and alcohol studies as its focus.  As you can see the session is 
very open.  We would like to have suggestions either of a full 
session, or of papers that we could put into a session.

Send on your ideas!

We would like to have something set up by April, so we have a 
tentative deadline of March 31.

Please note, next year's AHA is in New York City, Jan 2-5.
