CALL FOR PROPOSALS, 2017-2018: We encourage expressions of interest – from historians early in their careers as well as more senior scholars – who might wish to make a presentation during 2017-2017. We prefer that our speakers discuss their work-in-progress rather than a book or article already in print.
