What do you intend in the session on "Alcohol, Public Spaces, and Writers"?  Can you give me an idea of the papers already planned for that session?  Is the paper you're looking for to extend the topic to include drugs?  Are you only looking for one additional session -- that being the one having "drugs or a mix of drug and alcohol studies as its focus? -- or is it possible to propose an additional session, say one specifically on alcohol?  In other words, besides finding out what has already been planned, can I find out if there is a general call for ADHS papers at the ADA, and could you post that call?  Thanks very much. -- Jared Lobdell

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 h as dru gs 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.
