Not sure how many of you get up Boston way, but I thought the following from the Massachusetts Historical Society might be of interest:
Mark your
calendars for this conference, to be held 2 to 4 April, 2015, in recognition of
the 250th anniversary of the passage of the Stamp Act. The program will be held
at the MHS and is co-sponsored by the Society, Boston University, the David
Library of the American Revolution, and Williams College. This conference aims
to break out of the well-worn grooves of historical inquiry that have defined the
study of the Revolution for the past fifty years. Colleagues are invited to
submit proposals to present scholarly essays; in particular, the organizers are
seeking papers that address issues of politics and ideology, the impact of
military developments and military actions on society, and the course of
Revolution in New England. They may reserve some slots for invited scholars.
Aside from the keynote speaker, presenters will not deliver their papers aloud;
papers under discussion will be available at the Society’s website to
registered attendees approximately one month before the program. Submissions
should include a one-page description of up to 500 words and a short c.v. with
current contact information. Send proposals to Conrad Edick Wright, Director of
Research at the MHS, or by email to cwright@masshist.org by 21
February 2014.
