Anamesa call for papers

As promised! Pertinent info - in this case a call for contributions to Anamesa. If you missed the earlier post about this, you can read the Fall 2008 Perception Issue on the website. We also just received a stack of hard copies, so please feel free to stop by the Draper offices and grab one.

-----

Anamesa is currently accepting submissions for the 2009 Intersections issue. We encourage NYU graduate students in any department to submit essays, reportage, fiction, poetry, photography, artwork, or translations that address themes of crossing, commingling, and conflict, broadly construed. An interdisciplinary anthology, Anamesa considers material of diverse subject matter and length, from short book reviews (400-600 words) to longer literary essays (not to exceed 6000 words).

Academic papers should adhere to the Chicago Manual of Style and include a brief abstract. The author’s name, contact information, and departmental affiliation should appear only in the cover page. Submissions of graphic art should be in digital format with a minimum resolution of 300 DPI, at 5x7in.

Send submissions and queries to anamesa.journal@gmail.com. Please include the relevant genre in the subject heading of all messages (e.g., “essay,” “fiction,” or “photography”). The submission deadline is September 28. For further information, and to peruse earlier issues, visit www.anamesajournal.org. Printed copies of Anamesa are available at the Draper office (14 University Place).

An introduction

Hello, readers of in.ter.reg.num! I'm the new administrative aide at the Draper program, and with that great responsibility comes the great privilege of being a contributor to this blog. Sort of like Spiderman, just the other way around.

In any case, if you were to look at the official Draper website and find me on the administration page , you would see my interests listed as: "Food (especially culture, sustainability, and hunger issues), fiction writing, contemporary literature." All this is true, but since we're in a slightly more informal environment here, I can add that I also enjoy Coney Island, dressing up, children's literature, American football, and pretending to be a mixologist. And that, at any given moment, I usually have one thing that I'm a little obsessed about; currently, it's Gone With the Wind, which I just started reading, and which, so far, is well worth the back-ache I get from carting it around.

I'm also really happy to be working at the Draper program. Not only have Robin Nagle, Robert Dimit, and Larissa Kyzer all been welcoming and wonderful to work with, the students have been equally delightful. Some of my friends don't understand this, but I can't wait to do the part of my job that involves entering student thesis titles into a database, because I can't wait to get a peek at all the marvelous ideas that Draper students are playing with. Having most recently worked at NYU's College of Nursing, this is a welcome change for my liberal-artsy tastes.

I will be posting pertinent info on this site - calls for papers and the like - but hope to add a more personal post once in a while as well. Thanks for indulging me in my introduction, and please stay tuned!

Call for Papers: Council for European Studies International Conference

Call for Papers

Council for European Studies
Seventeenth International Conference
Montreal, Canada
April 15-17, 2010

A recent crisis of confidence has unsettled paradigms for economic, social and political governance: political identities, social allegiances, parameters of markets, cultural truisms, and religious truths are all in flux. Europe has long served as a model for the rest of the world - whether as object of admiration, forced exemplar, foil, or cautionary tale - and the present vacuum of certainty presents yet another moment of opportunity for scholars of "the old world." Are European experiments in economic coordination the solution to the excesses of unregulated capitalism - is this the moment for the revenge of the European model?

For the 2010 conference, the Council for European Studies (CES) welcomes proposals for panels, roundtables, book discussions and individual papers on the study of Europe broadly defined. We encourage proposals in the widest range of disciplines; in particular, we welcome panels that combine disciplines, nationalities, and generations. The Committee will accept only two submissions per person. Members may also participate in a maximum of two sessions.

The Council for European Studies fosters and recognizes outstanding, multidisciplinary research in European studies through a range of programs, including conferences, publications, special events, and awards. The Council's international conferences bring together scholars from a multitude of countries and a variety of fields for discussion and interdisciplinary exchange.

Proposals may be submitted from August 1 to October 15, 2009 via the URL: http://convention2.allacademic.com/one/ces/ces10/

More information on the conference will be available in upcoming issues of the CES newsletter. You may subscribe to the newsletter here: http://www.ces.columbia.edu/members/indiv_members.html

Participants will be notified of the Committee's decisions by December 1, 2009.

Call for Papers: Crisis and Consequence

Call for Papers

Crisis and Consequence

A Conference at the Hagley Library, Wilmington, Delaware

November 5, 2010

Economic crises have been the midwife to dramatic social change throughout American history. For a conference on Friday, November 5, 2010, the Center for the History of Business, Technology, and Society at the Hagley Museum and Library in Wilmington, Delaware invites proposals for imaginative essays that explore the long-term consequences of panics, depression, financial contractions, and other episodes in which the American economy dramatically declined. Papers should suggest significant relationship between such episodes and societal change, including (but not limited to) migration, religion, consumption patterns, technological change, and business practices. We welcome proposals based on new research, as well as unpublished synthetic essays drawing on extensive secondary literature. Papers drawing attention to the little-known or little-appreciated impacts of crises would be especially compelling.

Proposals of approximately 500 words summarizing the paper’s argument and sources accompanied by a c.v. of no more than 2 pages are due by March 1, 2010. Travel funds may be available for those presenting papers. Please direct proposals or queries to Carol Lockman, clockman[at]Hagley[dot]org.
