8th Annual MHA Conference - 2022 Call for Papers

"Many Midwests: Constructing Place, Recasting Identity" 
 

Building on last year’s theme of the Midwest at the intersection of Past and Present, we welcome papers relating to all aspects of the history of the American Midwest. Through this year’s theme of Many Midwests, we welcome submissions that examine and contextualize the Midwest in terms of both place and identity. We strongly encourage the use of visual aids, digital media, and interactive elements to be incorporated into panel presentations, making them as engaging as possible for a hybrid audience.

Proposals for panel and roundtables are encouraged, with a moderator and/or chair, should be a maximum of 1,000 words.  Individual paper proposals are also welcome and should be a maximum of 300 words.

All proposals must be accompanied by short vitas of the participants and contain contact information for every presenter included in the proposal.

In an effort to promote scholarly conversation and collaboration, the MHA and the Hauenstein Center will limit participants to a single panel or event this year.

Proposals should be submitted to Grand Valley State University’s Hauenstein Center by Jan. 7, 2022: gvsu.edu/hc/mhc
