CFP Active History - History for the Future
Location: Ontario, Canada
Call for Papers Date: March 31, 2008
Active History: History for the Future
Glendon College, York University, September 27-28th 2008
Active History: History for the Future is a two-day symposium designed to bring together university-based and community-based historians interested in assessing the ways in which historians engage with communities beyond the academy. Given that historians are also inevitably community members, it is important to consider not only the ways in which our work is taken up by the media, the courts, and so on, but also how we engage with and are responsible to communities in our research. How do, and how can, historical investigations of the past transform both historians and communities in the present and for the future?
The organizers define active history variously as history that listens and is responsive; history that will make a tangible difference in people's lives; history that makes an intervention and is transformative to both practitioners and communities. We seek a practice of history that emphasizes collegiality, builds community among active historians and other members of communities, and recognizes the public responsibilities of the historian.
The purpose of Active History: History for the Future is to make connections and to foster the development of working relationships among people doing active history within and between the many historical subfields. In this spirit, the symposium will provide an opportunity for graduate students and junior scholars interested in pursuing historical projects that will make an imprint beyond the academy to connect with and learn from colleagues who have been engaged in such historical pursuits for a long time.
Symposium Themes:
* The relationship between active history and activism
* The relationship between history and public policy
* The relationship between active history and public history
* Methodological, ethical, and historiographical issues in active history
* Early models and past experiences of active history: history workshop, community history, oral history, experiential history, movement history, progressive public history
* Creating active archives
* Active history and relations of power
* Showcase of current active history projects
* Active history and new technology
* Active history and teaching
* History for the future
Call for presentations, panels and round tables:
We are seeking applications from historians with multiple perspectives on active history. We encourage both historians working inside and outside the academy to contribute to the symposium. This is a call for presentations, not papers, as we welcome different approaches to communicating ideas about active history. Please send a one page proposal for a presentation, panel or round table, along with a brief CV of the presenter or presenters, to Jim Clifford by March 31, 2008: cljim22@gmail.com or History Department, 2172 Vari Hall, York University, 4700 Keele St., Toronto, ON, M3J 1P3.

CFP: 2008 Oral History Association Meeting, "A Convergence of Interests: Oral History in the Digital Age"
CFP: 2008 Oral History Association Meeting, "A Convergence of Interests: Oral History in the Digital Age"
Location: Pennsylvania, United States
October 15 - 19, 2008
Sheraton Station Square Hotel in Pittsburgh , Pennsylvania
Deadline: January 15, 2008
The Oral History Association invites proposals for papers and presentations for its 2008 annual meeting to be held October 15 - 19, 2008 at the Sheraton Station Square Hotel in Pittsburgh , Pennsylvania.
As always, the Program Committee of the OHA welcomes proposals for presentations on a variety of topics. In keeping with this year's theme, "A Convergence of Interests: Oral History in the Digital Age," the 2008 Annual Meeting will focus special attention on oral history and digital technologies.
Emerging digital technologies continue to expand options for the recording, preservation, and use of oral history interviews and other historically significant sights and sounds, to expand audiences, and to draw together once separate communities of practitioners. In doing so, they raise perplexing practical, legal, ethical, and theoretical questions.
For its 2008 meeting, the Oral History Association extends an invitation to teachers and students, archivists and librarians, Luddites and media theorists, web and exhibit designers, documentary producers and media artists, ethnographers, family and public historians, program officers and curators, scholars from a broad and growing range of disciplines, social and political activists, and others interested in sharing their experiences, projects, concerns, ideas, and questions about oral history. We encourage researchers studying the Ohio Valley , technology, industrialization and deindustrialization, and labor history to submit proposals. In recognition of the important work taking place outside the United States , we also hope to see a significant international presence at the meeting.
In the spirit of this meeting, the OHA Program Committee encourages presenters to consider a variety of formats and presentation methods, including traditional panels with chair and discussant, roundtables, performances, listening and viewing sessions, workshops, and poster sessions.
Once one of the United States ' great industrial metropolises, Pittsburgh has been a national and international center of technological innovations-including the home of the nation's first radio station- industrial processes, and intense struggles between capital and labor. Battered by deindustrialization in the late 1900s, the city has undergone an urban renaissance and today offers a rich concentration of museums, historic sites, universities and colleges, and an active arts scene. The Oral History Association is fortunate to be meeting in Pittsburgh during celebrations of the 250 th anniversary of the city's founding.
Proposal format: submit four copies of the proposal. For full sessions, submit a title, a session abstract of not more than two pages, and a one-page vita or resume for each participant. For individual proposals, submit a one-page abstract and a one-page vita or resume of the presenter. Each submission must be accompanied by a cover sheet, which can be printed from the OHA Web site: www.dickinson.edu/oha . Click here for COVER SHEET.
Proposals may be submitted by mail, or email, and should be postmarked or sent by January 15, 2008. Submit proposals directly to the OHA office at the address below.
E-mail attachments must include the "cover sheet" in electronic form and must be one complete document in Microsoft WORD format. Please do not send separate attachements. Attachments should be sent to oha@dickinson.edu. Should you not receive email confirmation by February 5th, please contact the OHA office to make sure your submission has been received.
