    HISTORICAL INQUIRY IN THE NEW CENTURY

    The Historical Society's 2010 Conference
    June 3-5, 2010, George Washington University, Washington, DC

    We invite participants to address a wide range of questions and issues, including: What are the current historiographical debates? Where do particular fields now stand? What's changed for the better--or the worse--in specific areas? What are the truly big questions historians face, and are we adequately grappling with them? How will historical inquiry change in the 21st century?

    We especially encourage panel proposals, though individual paper proposals are welcome as well. And our interpretation of "panel" is broad: 2 or more presenters constitute a panel--chairs and commentators are optional. As at past conferences, we hope for bold yet informal presentations that will provoke lots of questions and discussion from the audience, not  presenters reading papers word-for-word from a podium followed by a commentator doing the same.

    Please submit proposals (brief abstract and brief CV) by January 31, 2010 to: Eric Arnesen, 2010 Program Chair, at jslucas@bu.edu
