Call For Papers - CFP

With this, our 6th Black History Conference, AAAHRP continues to narrow the gap between historians and the public by encouraging cooperation among university-based scholars, librarians, historic preservationists, museum professionals, students, and the general public.

The conference theme is “Black History at Home and Abroad: Uncovering the Past.” We welcome the submission of proposals for individual papers, complete sessions, panels, workshops, and roundtables. The AAAHRP Conference Committee is particularly interested in proposals for innovative presentations about the "African Diaspora Around the World." Other subjects of particular interest include, but are not limited to:

America and a Post Racial Society

Black Pioneers of the Pacific Northwest

Black Radical Organizations

Black Women Unrecognized in History Books

Blacks and the Military

Civil Rights Organizations: Are They Still Relevant?

Early Human Rights and Civil Rights Activists

Forgotten Black Leaders of Past Centuries

Intellectuals and Literary Figures, Playwrights and Artists

Marcus Garvey and His Movement

Presentation guidelines: Individual paper presentations should be approximately 20 minutes long and should be original works of scholarship that have not been presented or published elsewhere. Paper sessions should include 3-4 papers. Panels, workshops, and roundtables should be approximately 90 minutes long.

Proposals of 250-300 words are being accepted until October 15, 2010. They should be sent electronically to history3comcast.net with “2011 Conference Proposal” as the subject.

All proposals must have a title page with the following information: The title and type of presentation (paper, panel, etc.), name(s) of presenters, affiliation, e-mail address, and phone number.

Individuals wishing to chair a session should submit their CV.

Authors of selected proposals will be notified no later than November 15, 2010.

AAAHRP always welcomes participants from outside the United States, but please note that we cannot provide any financial support for travel or lodging.

Conference papers will be considered for inclusion in a special AAAHRP conference publication, so the conference, besides providing exciting rarely known and newly discovered historical information, will also serve as a basis for publishing an integrated body of articles.

For additional information contact Ed Diaz at history3comcast.net. To learn more about the Association for African American Historical Research and Preservation visit www.aaahrp.org. For information about the Northwest African American Museum visit www.naamnw.org. For questions concerning the conference, please contact AAAHRP, not the museum.
