2010 Virginia Forum   

 

Call for Papers

 

The fifth annual Virginia Forum will meet at Christopher Newport
University in Newport News, located in Hampton Roads, Virginia, on April
15-17, 2009. It will include a visit to the Mariners' Museum, adjacent
to the campus. The Virginia Forum offers an opportunity for exchanges of
ideas among scholars, archivists, librarians, museum curators, K-12
teachers, and all those interested in Virginia history and culture.

 

The Virginia Forum invites proposals for presentations on all topics in
Virginia history and culture, but the Hampton Roads area's relationship
to the Atlantic Ocean, Chesapeake Bay, and other waterways offers a
special opportunity to reflect on maritime history and culture.
Proposals from graduate and undergraduate students conducting research
in Virginia history are encouraged.

 

The Virginia Forum invites proposals for individual papers or complete
panel sessions, roundtable discussions, workshops, poster sessions, or
electronic/multimedia presentations. Proposals for individual papers,
posters or electronic presentations should be no more than one page,
single-spaced in standard font. The proposal should include a title, the
name of the participant(s) and his/her affiliation, and an abstract of
the presentation that discusses the sources used and the significance of
the topic presented. 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
