2nd Annual Boston University Graduate Student American Political History Conference
Expanding the Political:
Cultural Politics and the Politics of Culture
April 16 - 17, 2010
The Boston University American Political History Institute welcomes submissions
for the second annual graduate student political history conference to take place
April 16th and 17th 2010. This year's conference seeks to expand and redefine
traditional narratives of political history by exploring the intersection between politics
and culture over the course of American history. The weekend will provide an
opportunity for collaboration, debate, and discussion about the political implications
of cultural expressions. The conference welcomes papers that investigate how the
political process manifests itself in cultural forms, how politicians shape culture for
political advancement, or how cultural structures open new arenas for political
activism, redefining the meaning of politics.
We welcome papers that consider how cultural forms and representations—including
religion, entertainment, sexuality, gender, morality, landscape, environment, race,
or ethnicity—have influenced the political process. How have politicians incorporated
cultural imagery or rhetoric to achieve political goals? How have voters used music,
film, or lifestyle choices to vocalize political beliefs or choices?
Paper, panel, or roundtable proposals should be submitted in the
form of 200-500 word abstracts by December 1st, 2009. Please email paper
proposals and a C.V. to gphconference @yahoo.com.

The Graduate History Association invites proposals for papers for its Sixth Annual Graduate History Conference to be held at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst on Saturday, March 27, 2010.
Historians spend a great deal of time attempting to find breaks in the historical record - the moments when change occurs. Scholarship in the last two decades has emphasized the need to explore the more nuanced ways in which historical actors initiate change. What roles have individuals, institutions, organizations, and movements played in fomenting change? Examining these transitional moments in history can help us make sense of the social and cultural dynamics we confront today. These inquiries into our past reveal that change is the only constant.
Submissions should address moments of and movements for social and cultural change. We encourage submissions from any discipline on a wide range of topics and periods. We are particularly interested in papers addressing the following topics, but will consider others as well:
Gender History
Urban History
Oral History
Memory
Pop Culture
Environmental History
Comparative History
Resistance and Reconciliation
Print Culture and New Media
Graduate students interested in participating in this conference should submit a one-page paper proposal and curriculum vitae (.doc, .docx, or .pdf format) for consideration by January 15, 2010. Accepted proposals will be notified shortly thereafter.
Please e-mail materials to ghapage@history.umass.edu and/or send by overland mail to the address shown.

examinations of individual dissenters, theoretical exploration of dissent
and its many meanings, hegemony and dissent, religious dissent, gendering
dissent, dissent and the "other," and, finally, public order, dissent, and
legal culture.
