CFP: Washington Early American Seminar 2017-18

Richard Bell Discussion

The Washington Area Early American Seminar, hosted by the University of Maryland, College Park (near downtown DC) 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. 

The seminar meets monthly during term time and our regular members include faculty and graduate students from a variety of DC-area institutions. Papers are pre-circulated and our Friday afternoon (4-6pm) seminars are followed by a dinner at a local restaurant. 

To propose a paper, please send a brief cv and a title along with a 300 word description of the topic to Rick Bell (rjbell@umd.edu) and Holly Brewer (hbrewer@umd.edu). We especially welcome proposals from scholars farther afield who will be visiting the DC area for research this coming year. 

For consideration for the 2017-2018 academic year, please send proposals before May 15, 2017.
