Crossing Boundaries: Foreign Relations and Transborder Histories

2010 Conference of the Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations



Call for Papers

The Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations (SHAFR) invites
proposals for panels and individual papers at its annual conference to 
be held June 24-26, 2010 at the Pyle Conference Center at the University 
of Wisconsin-Madison. In order to receive full consideration, proposals 
should be submitted no later than December 1, 2009.

The program committee welcomes panels and paper proposals that deal with 
the history of United States' role in the world in the broadest sense. 
In order to complement SHAFR's signature and continuing strengths in 
diplomatic, strategic, and foreign relations history, particularly for 
the post-1900 period, the Committee especially encourages proposals that 
deal with non-state actors and/or pre-1900 transborder histories, as 
well as proposals that involve histories of gender and race, cultural 
history, religious history, environmental history, economic 
history, labor history, immigration history, and borderlands history.

The Committee also invites applications from scholars working in areas 
other than U. S. history, and panels that include work by such scholars.

Finally, the committee welcomes panels dealing with issues such as 
pedagogy and professionalization.

To defray traveling costs for some graduate students and first-time
participants, SHAFR is offering a number of competitive fellowships. 
Please read below for further information.

The committee seeks complete panels with a coherent theme in one of the
following formats: (1) three papers, chair, and commentator; or (2) a
roundtable discussion with a chair and participants. Panels and 
roundtables must have at least three presenters.

The committee also welcomes panels using innovative procedures. We 
request that applicants have no more than two roles at the conference 
and only one presentation of their own research.

Please read and follow the instructions at: SHAFR 2010 Annual Meeting 
link at the SHAFR website, http://www.shafr.org

Although proposals for individual papers will be considered, proposals 
for complete panels are encouraged and will receive preference.  Those 
seeking to create or complete a panel should consult the "panelists 
seeking panelists" link at the SHAFR 2010 Annual Meeting website.

Electronic submissions are strongly encouraged, but paper submissions 
will also be accepted.  Please email a copy of your application as a 
single Word file attachment to Anne Foster and Naoko Shibusawa, program 
chairs, at: program-chair at shafr.org

If submitting a paper copy of your application, please mark "SHAFR 2010
Proposal" on the front of the envelope, and mail it to:  Naoko 
Shibusawa, History Department, Brown University, 79 Brown St., 
Providence, RI 02912


Divine Graduate Student Travel Grants

This year SHAFR will offer several Robert A. and Barbara Divine Graduate 
Student Travel Grants to assist graduate students who present papers at 
the 2010 conference.  The following stipulations apply: 1) no award will 
exceed $300 per student; 2) priority will be given to graduate students 
who receive no or limited funds from their home institutions; and 3) 
expenses will be reimbursed by the SHAFR Business Office upon submission 
of receipts. The Program Committee will make the decision regarding all 
awards. A graduate student requesting travel funds must make a request 
when submitting the paper/panel proposal. Applicants must include 
another separate abstract in their travel grant
application.

Funding requests will have no bearing on the committee's decisions on 
panels, but funds will not be awarded unless the applicant's panel is 
accepted by the program committee in a separate decision. Requests must 
be accompanied by a letter from the graduate advisor confirming the 
unavailability of departmental funds to cover travel to the conference.


SHAFR Diversity and International Outreach Fellowship Program

This year, SHAFR inaugurates a competition for fellowships that will 
cover travel and lodging expenses for the 2010 annual meeting.  The 
competition is aimed at scholars whose participation in the annual 
meeting would add to the diversity of the Society. Preference will be 
given to persons who have not previously presented at SHAFR annual 
meetings. The awards are intended for scholars who represent groups 
historically under-represented at SHAFR meetings, scholars who offer 
intellectual approaches that may be fruitful to SHAFR but are
under-represented at annual meetings, and scholars from outside the 
United States."Scholars" includes faculty, graduate students, and 
independent researchers.

To further acquaint the winners with SHAFR, they will also be awarded a 
one-year membership in the organization, which includes subscriptions to 
Diplomatic History and Passport. For application instructions, contact
diversityprogram at shafr.org. Please send another separate abstract of the
individual paper proposal. Funding requests will have no bearing on the
committee's decisions on panels, but funds will not be awarded unless 
the applicant's panel is accepted by the program committee in a separate 
decision.

Application deadline: December 1, 2009.
