The Future of Atlantic, Transnational, and World History: Call for Papers
Date: June 1, 2013
E-mail: futurehistory2014@gmail.com
“The Future of Atlantic, Transnational, and World History”
We announce a conference to be held May 1-3, 2014 at the Department of History, University of Pittsburgh.
The conference will explore four related themes in Atlantic, transnational, and world history, each introduced by a keynote speaker:
Labor: Marcel van der Linden (International Institute for Social History)
Race: Lara Putnam (University of Pittsburgh)
Empire: Richard Drayton (King’s College London)
Resistance: Vincent Brown (Harvard University)
Each keynote session will be accompanied by a panel session on the same theme. We therefore solicit papers on labor, race, empire, and resistance in Atlantic, transnational, and world historical contexts.
Our goals are to push the boundaries of boundary-less history and to imagine new ways to explore perennial subjects of historical investigation. We are especially interested in original approaches and research strategies that link small units and large processes, the local and the global, and that propose innovative ways to think about those connections.
We seek paper proposals from both established and more junior scholars. Preference may be given to those proposing to report on major work in progress. Proposals should include a title, a 250 word abstract, and a short CV. Abstracts should foreground the nature of the paper’s historiographical and methodological intervention. Please submit all queries and materials by email attachment by June 1, 2013, to: futurehistory2014@gmail.com.

CFP: Jews and Modern Visual Culture
Date: September 8, 2013—September 10, 2013
Website: http://www2.hlss.mmu.ac.uk/history-economic-history/
E-mail: s.johnson@mmu.ac.uk
Manchester Metropolitan University, 8-10 September 2013
In the last decade or so, the Jewish relationship with modern visual culture has been the subject of renewed investigation, with a number of pioneering works reimagining and re-exploring the parameters of this relationship, in both its positive and negative aspects. Scholarly approaches are no longer limited to somewhat flat interpretations of “Jewish art”, for example. Instead, contemporary scholarship incorporates a multi-disciplinary approach that considers Jews and modern visual culture within a broader intellectual framework. In moving beyond the bounds aesthetic appreciation, contemporary scholarship incorporates approaches to material culture, political history, the role of memory and memorialisation, as well as exploring how the visual challenged and altered notions of Jewishness in the modern period.
In building on these developments, this conference will provide a forum for further exploration of the relationship between Jews and modern visual culture. Its remit is intended as broad enough to encompass all national contexts, with a flexible chronology. Keynote speakers include: Michael Berkowitz (University College London); David Shneer (University of Colorado, Boulder); and, Carol Zemel (York University).
Proposals are welcomed, but by no means limited to, the following areas of study: Jewish representation and self-representation in film; Jews and photography; Jews and (Jewish) art; Caricature, cartoons and antisemitism; Jews and other forms of representational art (sculpture, etc); Visual culture and politics; Visual representation and the Holocaust.
The deadline for paper and panel proposals is 31 March 2013. Proposals of c.300 words and a short CV should be sent to s.johnson@mmu.ac.uk. The final program will be confirmed on 31 April 2013.

Crossing Borders
Atlanta, Georgia | April 10-13, 2014
Hilton Atlanta
Submissions will be accepted beginning January 1, 2013. Proposal deadline is February 15, 2013.
The theme for the 2014 OAH Annual Meeting will be “Crossing Borders.” The history of the United States is a product of migrations – internal and international. Along with people, goods and ideas crossed these borders, reshaping the composition and character of the American people. Sometimes the borders and boundaries were physical, as when international migrants crossed oceans and continents, or when large numbers of individuals migrated from one region of the country to another, or when the lure of wealth and influence led to foreign invasions and conquests. Those on the move were accompanied by bacteria or viruses, microorganisms whose migration across borders also shaped human experience. Borders were also framed by culture – racial, ethnic, class, and gender differences that perennially redefined our population and social order. The theme for the 2014 conference seeks to examine, in all their complexity, a broad array of border crossings and “encounters” in US history, highlighting the contributions and challenges presented by those who transcended borders to redefine their lives or flee the constraints of their pasts.
The 2014 OAH Program Committee seeks a broad, wide-ranging program that treats the rich expanse of the American experience, from the pre-Columbian era to the twenty-first century, and the thematic breadth that defines the work of contemporary historians on the page and in their classrooms. The committee enthusiastically encourages proposals from those teaching at universities, colleges, community colleges, and secondary schools, as well as public historians and independent scholars.

Re-Thinking Early Modernity

E-mail: crrs50th@gmail.com
CRRS 50TH ANNIVERSARY ANNUAL CONFERENCE
Rethinking Early Modernity: Methodological and Critical Innovation since the Ritual Turn
The Centre for Reformation and Renaissance Studies is celebrating its fiftieth anniversary with a conference in honor of Edward Muir, whose innovative studies of Venetian politics and culture helped to establish cultural anthropology and ritual as major analytical frameworks for scholarship on early modern European history. Building from Muir's contribution to the field, the conference hopes to focus on the significance of the methodological changes that have characterized early modern research in history, literature and art history over the last thirty years and to reflect upon how these changes have affected our understanding of the importance of the period.
The conference will take place at Victoria University in the University of Toronto on June 26 and 27.
Interested scholars are invited to submit a paper proposal on topics that exemplify new directions of critical inquiry spurred by the methodological developments over this period, including, but not limited to, the meaning of popular culture, the role of gender, microhistory, the discovery of the body, the importance of ritual, etc. Topics are also welcome that consider how methodological innovations in early modern scholarship—particularly in recent years—have informed changes in the nature of humanities inquiry, broadly conceived. We welcome papers from all disciplines, geographical areas, and periods housed within the rubric of early modern Europe. Scholars of all ranks are welcome to submit papers, including graduate students.
The deadline for submissions is September 30, 2013. Please submit a title, short abstract (250 words maximum), and brief CV to Mark Jurdjevic and Rolf Strom-Olsen at crrs50th@gmail.com.
Further information about the event will be posted on the conference website. Scheduling, travel and hotel information will be available in early 2014.
