In the United States, topics dealing with the >abolitionist and women's suffrage movements, the labor struggles of the >1930s, and the numerous campaigns for political rights and civil liberties >over the past half century come quickly to mind. The anti-colonial >movements in Africa, the liberation struggles in Latin America, and the >recent efforts of Eastern Europeans to take charge of their destiny are >other such examples, as are political movements led by religious >fundamentalists around the world. Keeping in mind that the personal is >also political, we welcome papers dealing with individuals whose activism >has taken them outside the traditional political channels. > >While "Social and Political Movements" is central to the conference, we >are also interested in papers and sessions on other historical topics. >This year's program committee strongly encourages proposals on the >teaching of history. At least two sessions will be devoted to topics such >as "Teaching the Civil Rights Movement." > >Papers (ten pages--2500 words) or sessions (two or three papers and one or >two commentators) may be based on original research, synthesis of >scholarship, or participant experience. We encourage panelists to discuss >their papers rather than read them, so as better to engage the audience. > >Proposals are due by September 30, 1997, and should consist of a one-page >abstract plus a resume.
