Subject: CONF: Early Modern Virginia, 8/17--18/2007, Monticello
On August 17 and 18, 2007 the Robert H. Smith International Center for
Jefferson Studies at Monticello will host a two day symposium "Early
Modern Virginia: New Thoughts on the Old Dominion." With original papers
employing new evidence, multiple methodologies, and different analytical
strategies this event will provide a unique and opportune reassessment
of the making of the Old Dominion. The papers touch on a range of
topics: from religion to government, trade to imperialism, slavery to
Native American society, architecture to the sexual politics of the
household. Atlanticists, early Americanists, and historians of the
British Empire, from a variety of disciplines will be participating.
Highlights include a plenary talk by Jon Kukla, author of __A Wilderness
So Immense__, and the forthcoming __Thomas Jefferson's Women__ and a
roundtable discussion on "The Meaning and Memory of Early Virginia
1607-2007" featuring Thad Tate, Lorena Walsh and Chief G. Anne
Richardson of the Rap pahannock Tribe. Complete program available at
