Call for Papers
Race and Ethnicity in the Nineteenth Century
28th Annual Conference of the Nineteenth-Century Studies Association (NCSA)
Susquehanna University, Selinsgrove, PA, March 8-10, 2007
We invite submission of papers and panel proposals that explore all
aspects of race and ethnicity in the 19th century, from all disciplinary
and interdisciplinary perspectives. Topics might connect race and
ethnicity with social identity or social control; with land use,
ecology, city planning or industrialism; with emigration and immigration
patterns; with aesthetics or with the sciences; with gender and
sexuality. The organizers encourage the broadest interpretation of the
topic, and the widest application to cultural phenomena.
The wealth of racial and ethnic history in Pennsylvania’s Central
Susquehanna Valley will provide an excellent focal point for wide
ranging discussions. Fergus Bordewich, author of Bound for Canaan: The
Underground Railroad and the War for the Soul of America (2005 Amistad),
will present the first public lecture; Malcolm Dick, author of Joseph
Priestley and Birmingham (Studley 2005), will present the second public
lecture on race, religion, and the legacy of Joseph Priestley. Karen
James of the PA Historical and Museum Commission will anchor a
roundtable discussion on research methods for recovering African
American involvement in the Underground Railroad. Local scholars will
lead special tours of Underground Railroad sites and 19th-century
architecture, including buildings of Joseph Priestley, Thomas Edison,
and Eli Slifer.
Submit a one page abstract of a 20 minute paper, with author and title
in heading, and one page vita by Nov. 1, 2006. Send materials or
inquiries to Drew Hubbell, Conference Organizer: [log in to unmask]
