57th Annual Meeting of The Society for French Historical Studies
The Citadel, Charleston, SC, 10-12 February 2011

Proposals due by 1 September 2010

The 57th Annual Society for French Historical Studies conference will be held at the Francis Marion Hotel in Charleston, South Carolina from Thursday, February 10, through Saturday, February 12, 2011 and will be hosted by The Citadel.  Featured speakers include Dena Goodman (University of Michigan) and Sylvain Venayre (Université de Paris I). Featured events include a plenary session and reception Friday evening at The Citadel and a banquet on Saturday evening. Additional outings on Sunday morning February 13 to Fort Sumter and Drayton Hall Plantation, will be organized.

The program committee will make every effort to combine single papers into coherent panels, but we encourage individuals to organize complete panels composed of two or (preferably) three papers, with a chair and commentator. Roundtables and other formats will also be considered. Please do not send proposals for papers that have already been presented or that are scheduled for presentation at other conferences, or that have already been published. All conference participants must be members in good standing of SFHS at the time of the conference.

All sessions will be held at the Francis Marion Hotel in downtown Charleston. The hotel is steps away from restaurants, historical sites, and museums. The special hotel rate will be $145 per night.

Please send proposals for panels or individual papers as MS-Word attachments to Joelle Neulander, President and chair of the program committee (joelle.neulander@citadel.edu). Proposals should include the following items, integrated into one file: an abstract (no more than 1 page) for each paper; a CV (no more than 1 page) for each presenter, including contact information; and the proposed chair’s and commentator’s name, affiliation, and email address.
