Call for Conference Presentation and Journal Publication

De-Centering Cold War History:
Street-Level Experiences and Global Change

Cold War histories are often told as stories of national leaders, state 
policies and the global confrontation that pitted a Communist Eastern 
Block against a Capitalist West. We acknowledge the important 
consequences of this global competition, of the arms race, and of 
international diplomacy and détente, but we seek to bring together 
scholars who contribute new analytical approaches to reveal the 
complexities in the historical trajectory of the Cold War.
To this end, we plan to engage in a collaborative effort to present and 
publish a street-level history of the global Cold War era. As three 
collaborators from different fields, we issue this CFP first for a 
Conference Presentation at the University of Arizona (November 
4-November 7, 2010). Second, we will publish selected conference 
presentations in a Special Edition Journal. We invite contributions that 
challenge Cold War master narratives with a focus on super-power 
politics and de-center a historical narrative that situates the Soviet 
Union and the United States at the core and the "rest of the world" in 
the periphery. Your analytical approach should consider local-level 
experiences and regional initiatives that contributed to the making of a 
Cold War world; all geographical regions are welcome and 
cross-disciplinary approaches are encouraged. Our primary goal is to 
inspire a fruitful dialogue and new forms of collaboration among 
interdisciplinary scholarly approaches and to forge new research 
directions in the study of the Cold War.
At the Conference, we envision a combination of intensive workshops 
among participants, as well as panels and presentations open to the 
public. We ask Conference participants to arrive by Thursday. Friday and 
Saturday will be structured around presentations for the public in the 
mornings (Friday and Saturday, 9:00 -- 10:45 AM and 11:15 to 1:00 PM), 
and workshops with participants in the afternoons (Friday and Saturday, 
3:00 to 6:00 PM). Conference participants (and journal contributors) 
will receive reimbursement for travel to Tucson, Arizona, to attend the 
Conference; this invitation will include food and accommodation (three 
nights) on location.

Please send your 500-word proposal for an individual presentation and a
