CALL FOR PAPERS
---------------
Graduate Student Conference
on
Freedom in American History
---------------
Columbia University
October 11-12, 1996
Keynote Address:
Eric Foner, DeWitt Clinton Professor
of History, Columbia University
---------------
Freedom has long been central to American national identity. Historically,
however, the concept of freedom has been neither static nor stable, and has
always encompassed many meanings. The Graduate Student Conference on Freedom
in American History hopes to map the multiple and contested meanings of
freedom from the colonial era to the present. How has freedom been
produced and reproduced by institutions, social groups, and individuals?
How have different ideas of freedom been constructed, challenged, violated,
and transformed?
We invite papers from graduate students in a variety of disciplines in the
Humanities, including: African-American Studies, American Studies,
History, Literature, Music, Political Theory, Religion, and Women's
Studies. (This list is illustrative and by no means exclusive.)
Paper titles and abstracts of _no more than 250 words_ must be submitted
by July 1, 1996. Please send submissions to: Timothy P. McCarthy,
Institute for Research in African-American Studies, 758 Schermerhorn
Extension, Columbia University, New York, New York 10027. Tel. #:
212/854-4935. All email inquiries should be directed to: Alana J.
Erickson, aje4@columbia.edu.
