**CFP – 2012 AHA Meeting, Identities and Frontiers

I am a PhD student at the University of Otago in New Zealand interested in assembling a panel for the 2012 AHA conference in Chicago. I am seeking participants to discuss the formation and transformation of identities in frontier societies between 1600 and 1900. My own paper would discuss mateship and masculinity during the nineteenth-century gold rushes to Otago, New Zealand and how these identities were reinterpreted in later years. I would welcome suggestions from historians studying identities in a range of contexts. In particular, I am interested to hear from scholars looking at the intersection of multiple identities. These might include, but are not limited to, gender, ethnicity, race, nationalism, religion and sexuality. If you are interested, please contact me directly at danjdavy@hotmail.com  before Wednesday, 26 Jan.

**CFP – 2012 WHA Panel Proposal, Native Defined Borderlands

Colleagues, I am excited to see that the 2012 WHA Conference theme is “Boundary Markers and Border Crossers:  Finding the West and Westerners.”  I am very interested in transnational and borderlands history – especially narratives concerning indigenous North American peoples.   However, much (if not most) of the historiography of Native peoples and North American borderlands is built on landscapes defined by Euro-American empires and nation-states and their respective frontiers or international borders.  Indeed, my own scholarship has used this model. For this conference, I am interested in gathering a group of papers that use Native-defined landscapes as the base topography for defining borderlands.  Be it indigenous peoples interacting in their own borderlands or Euro-Americans traversing Native-defined landscapes, I hope there are a few scholars considering such frameworks.  Email me if you have started, or are interested in starting such a project.

**CFP – AHA, Missionaries and Indigenous Groups in Colonial and Post-colonial Studies

Dear colleagues, I am putting together a panel proposal for the January 2012 Meeting of the AHA in Chicago, IL. I am seeking participants who wish to explore the interactions that ensued between missionaries and indigenous groups in both, colonial and post-colonial contexts. I am looking forward to works exploring different geographical areas and time periods. Topics of interest might include (though are not restricted to): the meanings and practices of religious conversion; the shaping of ideas of progress, civilization, backwardness and modernity; the connections between multiple and disparate locales through the missionary encounter; the missions’ effects on relations between imperial or national states and its subjects/citizens; the effects of the missionaries’ activities on indigenous societies, on the missionaries themselves, and on the missionaries’ countries of origin; the interactions between the indigenous’ and the missionaries’ religious notions and practices; transformations on missiology and mission theology; and the shaping of notions of gender and gender relations. My own paper will center on French missionaries in an indigenous region in Colombia (Tierradentro) in the first half of the twentieth century. If you are interested, please send an email to alb159@pitt.edu with a short description of your paper as soon as possible. If you can send already the 300 word paper abstract, that is even better, but not necessary, at least not initially. If chosen, the deadline for submitting everything (contact information, a 250 biographical paragraph, a 300 word paper abstract, any audiovisual need will be Monday, 7 February 2011. For guidelines see http://www.historians.org/annual/proposals.htm.

CFP – Historiography and Empire in the Early Modern Atlantic World

Dear colleagues, I am putting together a proposal (albeit very late) for the January 2012 Meeting of the AHA in Chicago, IL.  I am seeking participants who wish to explore the relationship between the creation of empires in the early modern Atlantic world and the construction, production, and dissemination of historiography and historical thought.  In particular, I am very interested to hear from scholars working on the African, Dutch, French, Portuguese, or Spanish Atlantic worlds.  My own paper will center on the English Atlantic world and focus on the development of an Anglo-American historiography in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. If you are interested, please send an email to ian.aebel@gmail.com with a short description of your paper.  I will in turn send a copy of the panel abstract.  If chosen, the deadline for submitting your contact information, a 250 biographical paragraph, and a 300 word paper abstract will be due by Friday, 4 February 2011.

Sincerely, Ian Aebel

**CFP – CROSSROADS I: THE NEW AFRICAN DIASPORAS IN THE US

April 14-15, 2011. University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Since 2002, the Africana Studies Department at UNC Charlotte has organized an annual symposium to examine a critical theme in the African Diaspora Studies. The 2011 symposium titled “Crossroads I: The New African Diasporas” will take place on April 14-15, 2011, and will focus on the post-Cold War African and Caribbean diasporic formations in the United States. Urban, cosmopolitan, and socioeconomically diverse, these populations account for about 20% of the Black population in the US. Today, they are no longer concentrated only in the traditional immigrant cities of the northeast, but are also of significant presence in the emerging global cities of the New South and the Midwest. Several studies tend to emphasize the immigrant experience and national origins of the post-1980s African and Caribbean populations… Interested participants should submit 250-400 word abstract and two-page vitae to africana_studies@uncc.edu by January 14, 2011. Those whose abstracts are accepted will be asked to submit a draft of their paper no later than March 31, 2011. Arrangements are being made to publish a selection of the symposium papers in a thematic volume of a journal of Africana/African Diaspora Studies. Contact Akin Ogundiran (704-687-2355; ogundiran@uncc.edu) if you have any questions.

**CFP – Across Borders and Environments: The 11th Biennial Conference on Communication and Environment (COCE)

Submission Deadline June 1, 2011.

Saturday, June 25 – Tuesday, June 28, 2011, On the Border in El Paso, Texas USA. The Conference on Communication and the Environment started in 1991, and has been held every other year since then.  COCE is associated with the Environmental Communication Network, although there is no official organization that sponsors COCE.  The 11th biennial COCE’s theme will be “Across Borders and Environments:  Communication and Environmental Justice in International Contexts.”  Given El Paso’s strategic location on the U.S. – Mexico border, this conference theme is particularly topical.  Recent discussions about internationalizing the environmental communication discipline are also relevant in the border area, as El Paso and Ciudad Juárez work together to address international environmental issues such as water shortages and air pollution for their combined populations of over 2.5 million people in one of the largest bi-national metropolitan areas in the world.

**CFP – FORCED MIGRATION: HUMAN RIGHTS CHALLENGES

4th Annual Conference of the Canadian Association for Refugee and Forced Migration Studies (CARFMS)

Hosted by the Centre for Human Rights and Legal Pluralism, McGill University, Montreal.

May 11-13, 2011. Over the past decades, States have reinforced security-related migration policies in the name of preserving the integrity of their territory and immigration and asylum systems. In order to control migratory movements, a series of measures have been undertaken such as interception operations, visa policies, increased detention, excessive penalties for migrant smuggling and forced removals. The securitization of migration has resulted in the perception of the foreigner, and especially the

asylum-seeker and the irregular migrant, as a category outside the circle and civil rights have been accompanied by major obstacles to their access to economic and social rights. International cooperation which enhances the creation of security-oriented common norms and mechanisms contributed to the legitimization of practices which lower refugee protection standards and increase the vulnerability…The 2011 CARFMS Conference will bring together researchers, policymakers, displaced persons and advocates from diverse disciplinary and regional backgrounds to discuss the human rights of migrants in the context of national and international security policies. We invite participants from a wide range of perspectives to explore the practical, experiential, policy-oriented, legal and theoretical questions raised by security regimes at the local, national, regional and international levels.  Individuals wishing to present a paper at the conference must submit a 250-word abstract and 100-word biography by December 1st, 2010. The conference organizers welcome submissions of both individual papers and proposals for panels. Please submit your abstract via the conference website: http://carfmsconference.yorku.ca/.

**CFP – Borderlands and Meeting Points

The 6th Annual Brown University Graduate Student Conference in Rhode Island on 04/08/2011.

Borderlands and Meeting Points The 6th Annual Brown University Graduate Student Conference Key Note Speaker: Professor Timothy Snyder, Yale University Brown University, Providence, RI April 8-9, 2011 Borderlands and meeting points represent sites of exchange, mediation, cooperation, and conflict. As “in-between” areas, borderlands foster interactions between individuals, communities, and nations. Similarly, meeting points facilitate both ideological and physical contact. Such contact may involve not only political, economic, social and religious dynamics, but also evolving conceptions of self and other. Thus, whether real or imagined, borderlands and meeting points affect the way identities are variously constructed, perceived, negotiated, and performed. This conference seeks to generate new interdisciplinary perspectives about borderlands and meeting points, putting into conversation fields such as history, literature, anthropology, political science, geography, law, and art. Through these conversations, we will consider the strategies – particularly cultural ones – that are employed at such sites both to pursue particular interests and to engender or resist change. The study of borderlands and meeting points presents us with a methodological and theoretical challenge: to find creative means of giving expression to people and interactions often shaped by charged political and ethnic concerns.

**CFP –  Career Migration, SSHA, Boston 2011

Beyond the tourist gaze: comparing the settlement process of career migrants abroad in past and present In response to the categories of migrants suggested by sociologist Charles Tilly (local, circular, chain, career) and his definition of career migration, this session will question the historical development of career migration and the settlement process of these migrants. Can career migrants be considered as one category in Migration Theory? And is it useful and challenging to compare the clerical staff of the papal court travelling around medieval Europe to engineers travelling around the world for multinationals like Shell today? This session will bring together people working on career migration in different fields, dealing with different professional groups (ranging from diplomats to development workers) and especially in different time periods. The focus will be on career migrants’ interactions or integration abroad. Prof.dr. Nancy L. Green <http://crh.ehess.fr/document.php?id=120>   (director of the EHESS Paris) has agreed to chair the session. Are you interested to join this session, please contact Aniek Smit (Leiden University, the Netherlands) before the 20th of January:

**2011 UCLA Summer Seminar, Rethinking International Migration

Applications are invited to “Rethinking International Migration,” a 2011 National Endowment for the Humanities Summer Seminar for College and University Teachers. To be directed by Roger Waldinger, Distinguished Professor of Sociology, University of California, Los Angeles, this five week summer seminar will be held at the UCLA campus from June 13 through July 15, 2011.  The seminar is open to 16 NEH summer scholars, from a broad range of disciplinary backgrounds.   Principally oriented to teachers of American undergraduate students, the seminar is open to qualified independent scholars, and will include two full-time graduate students. The seminar will be informed by a view that the study of migration resembles the process of migration itself: an activity that cuts across boundaries, in this case intellectual, not political, one best pursued by drawing insights and methods from a variety of disciplines.  Hence, this seminar will seek to expose NEH summer scholars to an interdisciplinary approach to migration studies, via focused discussions of three key areas at the core of migration debates:  rights, citizenship, migration policy; the second generation; diasporas and transnationalism.  More information can be found at: http://apply.international.ucla.edu/migration/.  Applications can be made online.

**2011 SHAFR Graduate Student Summer Institute

Freedom and Free Markets: The Histories of Globalization and Human Rights Summer 2011 Institute sponsored by The Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations (SHAFR) To be held at Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia, June 17-22. The fourth annual SHAFR Summer Institute will explore the rich history of human rights within the context of American-led globalization. This Institute will investigate the effort to elevate individual dignity over the state, family, and, especially, the marketplace. Our study will investigate the contact points of U.S. foreign relations and human rights, and how rights have touched on free enterprise, the Open Door doctrine, decolonization, and a host of economic exchanges (trade, aid, finance, and investment) that stimulated, hindered, and rewarded global market capitalism. Real-world situations, such as violence (genocide and torture) and historical figures (indigenous people, women, ethnic and religious groups), will reflect on the broad trend of globalization from the age of imperialism to the present, with a focus particularly on the influence of United States foreign policies in the post-World War II era. Professors Carol Anderson (Emory University) and Tom Zeiler (University of Colorado at Boulder) will introduce roughly a dozen graduate students at the ABD level to the literature on globalization, human rights, and the treatment of both in the field of U.S. foreign relations, with an eye toward enriching their doctoral theses, future research, and teaching repertoire…Each student will receive full funding for travel (including international airfare), accommodations, and an honorarium of $500. We encourage both U.S.-based and international graduate students in History and related fields to apply. The deadline for applications is February 1, 2011. Applicants should submit a one-page letter along with a c.v. detailing how participation in the Institute would benefit their scholarship and career, to Sean Byrnes at sbyrnes@emory.edu.<mailto:sbyrnes@emory.edu<mailto:sbyrnes@emory.edu.%3cmailto:sbyrnes@emory.edu>.>  For more information, contact Carol Anderson, carol.anderson@emory.edu<mailto:carol.anderson@emory.edu>  or Tom Zeiler, thomas.zeiler@colorado.edu
