| Call for Papers: 2004 OAH Annual Meeting |
The Committee on Teaching of the Organization of American Historians invites proposals for Focus on Teaching sessions at the 2004 OAH Annual Meeting in Boston, 25-28 March. The committee prefers to receive proposals for complete sessions but will consider individual proposals as well. Sessions may deal with any pedagogical issue or technique relevant to teaching American history at any level, from K-12 through postsecondary (community college, college and university) institutions. We especially invite sessions which explore a wide variety of political, social, cultural, intellectual, economic, diplomatic, military, technological, and environmental transformations in American history--as well as movements that sought and failed to bring about such transformations. In concert with the meeting's theme, we would like proposals that examine counterrevolutions and antiradical backlash and those that emphasize continuity, challenging the "revolutionary" character of particular moments, movements, or trends in American history. Of particular interest to the committee are session proposals centered around technology and instruction; National or State History Standards; and the main theme of the annual meeting, "American Revolutions." Proposals exploring other issues and themes in American history are welcome. Focus on Teaching presentations often involve the audience as active participants. Proposals for poster sessions are welcome. In selecting proposals the committee normally discourages participation as a presenter in consecutive annual meetings. All proposals for presentations/sessions must specify participants and include single-page vita, an abstract no more than 500 words in length, and a brief prospectus of each paper/presentation proposed. The 15 January 2003 deadline has passed. Here are some examples of successful proposals: |
