Dear Colleagues, 

CALL FOR PAPERS:  SHEAR

Philadelphia, 13-16 July 2023

Greetings SHEARites! {with apologies for cross-postings}

I greet you in your inbox a week before the conference with some pointers and highlights.

In the pointers category:

There is still room for participants in the Third Annual SHEAR Biography Workshop, to be held face-to-face from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm CDT on Thursday, July 21 in the SHEAR conference hotel in New Orleans. All scholars at any stage of their biographical projects are welcome, as are individuals who do not have projects underway but are curious about historical biography and eager to help fellow scholars in the development of their projects.

A hearty congratulations to Nicole Eustace and Ada Ferrer for winning Pulitzer Prizes for Nonfiction for their books Covered With Night: A Story of Murder and Indigenous Justice in Early America and Cuba: An American History.  And further congratulations to Kate Masur, whose Until Justice Be Done: America’s First Civil Rights Movement, From the Revolution to Reconstruction, was chosen as a finalist.

It's wonderful to see such outstanding work on early America and the Age of Revolutions recognized in this way.

SHEAR salutes you!

SHEAR is pleased to announce and invite applications for the Third Annual SHEAR Biography Workshop, to be held in advance of the annual meeting in July 2022.

Dear SHEAR Colleagues, 

As Co-Editor of the Journal of the Early Republic one of the arrangements I have with SHEAR is the opportunity to provide you information about the M.A. program at Rutgers-Camden in case it makes sense for students of yours to apply.  Our M.A. annually provides several fellowships that cover full tuition and a stipend for the entirety of the degree for full-time students as well as partial fellowships, and every admitted student receives some form of funding.
