Colleagues, 

The International Society for Landscape, Place, and Material Culture (formerly Pioneer America Society) will be holding its 50th Annual Meeting from September 26-29 in New Orleans. Please join us! This group seeks inclusion of scholars from a variety of disciplines, including but not limited to History, Geography, Preservation, Material Culture, Landscape Architecture, Landscape Studies, Archeology, Sociolog providing strong participation. 

The Journal of the History of Ideas Blog promotes a wide range of scholarship on intellectual history, and we are eager to include scholars on our team of Contributing Editors who can promote work that integrates the study of geography and history. Contributing Editors either write their own or commission a short piece every 4-6 weeks.
