RESEARCHING NEW YORK 2007

RESEARCHING NEW YORK 2007
University at Albany, SUNY
November 15 & 16, 2007

This annual conference on the history of New York State is an excellent
forum for scholars to present their work on any aspect of NY history in any
time period. This year work that examines the political history of New York
-- and it's influence beyond New York State is especially encouraged.


CALL FOR PAPERS -- Submission deadline extended to July 8, 2007

The organizers of the 9th Annual Researching New York Conference invite
proposals for papers, panels, workshops, roundtables, exhibits, documentary,
and media or multi-media presentations on any facet of the history of New
York State-from settlement to the present. Researching New York brings
together historians, researchers, public historians, archivists, museum
curators, librarians, graduate students, teachers, Web site creators,
filmmakers, and documentarians to share their work on New York State
history. The conference will be held at the University at Albany, State
University of New York on November 15th and 16th, 2007.

Full panel proposals, workshops, roundtables, exhibits, and media
presentations are encourages. Partial panels and individual submissions will
be considered. For panels and full proposals, please submit a one-page
abstract of the complete session, a one page abstract for each paper or
presentation, and a one-page curriculum vita for each participant.
Individual submissions should include a one-page abstract and one-page
curriculum vita. All submissions must include name, address, telephone
number, and e-mail address. All proposals must include any anticipated audio
visual needs.

For Researching New York 2007 we especially encourage proposals that explore
the varied and complex role New York State has played in American political
life. From the days of Newcastle's New York, when the colony was at the
center of imperial ambitions to the present when commentators are
forecasting a presidential race in 2008 between two --- possibly 3 -- New
York politicians, New York has profoundly influenced American political
identity. New York State and its people have helped set the tone for
political leadership and the development of public policy nationwide. We
invite paper and panel submissions that explore this rich and diverse
history from any perspective and in any period.

We prefer electronic submission to resrchny@albany.edu. Further details at
