2022 SHAFR Conference
Virtual Sessions Online June 10-11, 2022
In-person sessions in New Orleans, LA, June 16-18, 2021
The Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations (SHAFR) invites proposals for its 2022 annual conference. After the tremendous success of the 2021 virtual conference under difficult circumstances, SHAFR members expressed a strong desire to include virtual days in the 2022 conference. Thus, we are delighted to bring you the best of both worlds in 2022: two dynamic days of online offerings, followed by two and a half days of an in-person meeting. The SHAFR 2022 program will use the virtual sessions to bring what works best online to the widest audience possible, while maintaining in New Orleans the best features of face-to-face conferences. The Virtual Days will include plenary events, feature roundtables, and lightning rounds with brief (5–7 minute) presentations of exciting new research. In New Orleans, we will feature traditional panels and roundtables and plenty of time for making connections with other scholars.
Proposals for the 2022 conference can take three forms:
- Virtual: lightning-round paper proposals
- New Orleans: panel proposals
- New Orleans: individual paper proposals
SHAFR is dedicated to the study of the history of the United States in the world, broadly conceived. Given that the production, exercise, and understanding of U.S. power takes many forms and touches myriad subjects, the Program Committee welcomes proposals reflecting a broad range of approaches and topics.
