Virginia Forum: March 29-31, 2012

"Greater Virginias"

 

The 2012 Virginia Forum will be held on the campus of James Madison
University in Harrisonburg, Virginia. The Virginia Forum is
interdisciplinary and welcomes proposals from scholars, teachers, and
professionals in all fields. The theme, "Greater Virginias," emphasizes
Virginia's relationship across political and geographical boundaries to
broader ideas, patterns, and adjoining regions. The theme is comparative
and invites scholars to submit papers about all aspects of Virginia
life, geography, environment, history, and culture. We plan to offer
sessions and workshops that draw from the full range of Virginia-focused
research, including the humanities and sciences.

 

We invite proposals from fields including all the arts and sciences:
economics, politics, geography, law, literature, history, politics,
archaeology and anthropology, environmental studies, museum and library
studies, preservation, and others. Please submit a one-page paper
proposal and a one-page curriculum vitae in a single email message to
[log in to unmask] by 30 September 2011. Please be sure to include your
email address and other contact information.

 

Proposals for complete panel sessions, workshops, etc. are encouraged,
and 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 and a one-page curriculum vitae for each
panel member. Additional information is available online at
