Call for Papers for the Third Annual Workshop:

“New and Emerging Studies of the Spanish Colonial Borderlands”

 

This workshop seeks to bring together six graduate students in the field of the Spanish Borderlands to bolster intellectual exchange and create community among graduate students and interested faculty working on similar or related topics.  Successful workshop presentation proposals should highlight new and emerging research on the Spanish Borderlands and focus on some aspect of California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, or Florida from the sixteenth through the mid-nineteenth century.  

 

Papers will be organized into one hour sessions derived from larger dissertation chapters.  Workshopping of the papers by participants and organizers will follow. Participants agree to submit a 25-30 pg. and footnoted paper by March 1, 2020.

The workshop sponsors will cover travel, lodging, and meals, but participants will be strongly encouraged to seek funding from their home institutions.

 

The workshop will be held Friday March 13, 2020 at The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens, San Marino, California
