Call For Papers
The Washington Area Early American Seminar, hosted by the University of Maryland, invites proposals from scholars wishing to present work in progress in the next academic year on any topic connected to Atlantic world or American history prior to 1865. Genuine work in progress is preferable to polished, already-accepted pieces.
The seminar meets twice per semester during term time in College Park and at partner institutions like Mount Vernon, George Washington University, and the Smithsonian. Papers are pre-circulated and we expect that our face to face Friday afternoon (4-5.30pm) seminars will be followed by a dinner at a local restaurant.
To propose a paper, please upload a brief, one-page cv and submit a title along with a 300-word description of the paper here:
Deadline for submissions for the 2024-2025 academic year is July 15, 2024.
If you want to be added to the mailing list or if you have questions please contact any of this year’s conveners: Rick Bell (rjbell@umd.edu), Holly Brewer (hbrewer@umd.edu), or Zack Dorner (zdorner@umd.edu).
