Call for Proposals
Georgia Association of Historians Annual Meeting:
February 25-27, 2022 - University of Georgia, Athens, GA
The Georgia Association of Historians invites proposals from professional historians and current graduate students of history working in the state of Georgia and throughout the United States for its February 2022 annual conference, in Athens, Georgia. We welcome submissions pertaining to all areas and subfields of history, preservation, and pedagogy. We also encourage innovative session formats such as roundtables and moderated discussions as well as traditional paper sessions. Proposals for full sessions are encouraged, but not required. We also welcome interested undergraduates to submit proposals for posters to be displayed at the meeting.
Accepted papers may be submitted for consideration to the peer-reviewed Journal of the Georgia Association of Historians, though conference acceptance does not guarantee journal publication.
The deadline for proposal submission is September 24, 2021.
Notification of a proposal’s acceptance will occur in October 2021.
Accepted papers will be due to the chairs/commentators by January 14, 2022.
Please submit electronic proposals via Google Forms. Prepare a single document in Microsoft Word format which includes the entire proposal (include individual abstracts, panel description, contact information, and one-page c.v. for each participant including, if appropriate, the chair and commentators). Please title with the organizer's last name, type of session (Panel, Paper, Roundtable or Poster), and title of proposal: ex: Lastname_Type_Title.docx. Once proposal document has been created, please complete the Google Form and upload document at
bit.ly/GAHAthens2022.
To complete the submission as instructed above, you must have a Google Account. If you do not have a Google account and do not wish to create one, please submit the proposal document as an attachment to <georgiaassociationofhistorians@gmail.com>.
Please address questions to the Program Chair, Andrew Goss at angoss@augusta.edu.
Papers must be original works of scholarship. Due to time limitations, individual papers will be limited to 15-20 minutes. Roundtables should be structured to fit a ninety-minute time slot. (While presenters must have a minimum of a bachelor’s degree in hand at the time the proposal is submitted, undergraduates may submit posters.)
Chairs/Commentators: Scholars interested in serving as chair/commentator should contact the Program Chair, Andrew Goss, , at: angoss@augusta.edu . Please include a brief description of your field/areas of expertise along with a one-page cv.
Planning for an in-person conference is on-going. However, the GAH Executive Board is tracking the trajectory of COVID-19 infection rates in Athens and Georgia, and is prepared to host a virtual conference as we did in 2020, should that become necessary. We do not anticipate changing the format until after the paper submission deadline. In the case of a virtual conference, all accepted submissions will have an opportunity to participate, and registration fees will be adjusted accordingly.
