Vernacular Architecture Forum: Call for Papers
The Vernacular Architecture Forum invites paper proposals for its 2011 Annual Meeting in Falmouth, Jamaica. Papers should address vernacular and everyday buildings, sites, or cultural landscapes worldwide. Submissions on all vernacular topics are welcome, but papers that explore topics related to the conference theme of heritage tourism are encouraged. Papers should be twenty-minutes in length, although proposals for complete sessions, round table discussions, or other innovative means that facilitate scholarly discourse are also welcome.
Proposals must be one-page, fewer than 400 words, and include paper title, author’s name, and e-mail address. Please state clearly the argument of the paper and explain the methodology and content. Papers should be theoretical or analytical in nature, rather than descriptive. Attach a one-page CV to your proposal submission. The deadline for proposals is September 13, 2010.
Presenters must deliver their papers in person and be VAF members at the time of the conference. Speakers who do not register for the conference by April 1, 2010, will be withdrawn. Please do not submit an abstract if you are not committed to attending the papers session on June 4. Presenter Fellowships to offset registration costs are available to students and recent graduates. For more information on Presenter Fellowships please see http://www.vafweb.org/awards/presenter.html.
Electronic submissions of proposals and CVs in Word format are preferred. Please send e-mail proposals to Andrew Dolkart at or hard copies to:
