THE SOCIAL SCIENCE HISTORY ASSOCIATIONS'S IMMIGRATION/MIGRATION NETWORK
IS SEEKING
PROPOSALS FOR PANELS AND INDIVIDUAL PAPERS
The Immigration/Migration Network of the SSHA, in keeping with the conference theme, REVERBERATIONS OF EMPIRE, seeks panel and paper submissions wherein migration scholars make use of historical and interdisciplinary methods and theories to analyze how histories, legacies, and lineages of empire inform contemporary politics, society, culture, and economics. We welcome panels that engage with questions such as: What are the theoretical, methodological, and policy implications of identifying reverberations of empire in migration history? How do different versions of imperial migration history enter public debate and how are these versions employed in the present to various political, legal, and social ends? How have current historical analogies between past and present empires, global hierarchy and inequality, state organization, etc. influenced how we study and understand past and contemporary migrations?Panels and Individual Papers that coalesce around the themes listed below as well as aspects of social science history, we welcome. We encourage the submission of complete sessions as well as interdisciplinary panels (which, ideally, will include 4 papers and a chair)
**The Social Science History Association is the leading interdisciplinary association for historical research in the United States. We welcome graduate students and recent PhDs as well as more-established scholars and leaders in the field from different disciplinary backgrounds.
