Call for Papers
Virginia Forum – March 25/26, 2011
“Different Virginias”
The 2011 Virginia Forum will be held on the campuses of Virginia Military Institute and Washington and Lee University in Lexington, Virginia. The Virginia Forum is interdisciplinary and welcomes proposals from scholars, teachers, and historical professionals in all fields. The theme, “Different Virginias,” is comparative and invites scholars to submit papers about all aspects of Virginia life, history, and culture. We also plan to offer sessions or workshops on teaching Virginia history, digital history, museums, and libraries.
We invite proposals from fields including all the arts and sciences: economics, politics, geography, law, literature, history, archaeology and anthropology, environmental history, museum and library studies, preservation, and others. One-page paper proposals and one-page curriculum vitae should be submitted to ashworthj@wlu.edu by 15 September 2010. Proposals for complete panel sessions, workshops, etc. should include a one-page description of the overall session, as well as a separate, one-page description for each individual presentation in the session. Additional information is available online at www.virginiaforum.org.
