2025 Call for Papers

 

Annual Meeting at Francis Marion University in Florence, South Carolina

Saturday, March 1, 2025

Theme:  The Struggles for Democracy

​

SCHA invites historians in all fields to submit proposals for presentations and sessions for the 2025 Annual Meeting, to be hosted by Francis Marion University, Florence, S.C., on Saturday, March 1, 2025.

 

The historical theme for this year’s Annual Meeting is “The Struggles for Democracy.”

 

We also warmly welcome proposals on history topics outside the theme of the Annual Meeting. We welcome proposals on a wide array of topics in Southern, American, European, and World History. We encourage not only traditional papers, but also proposals from related areas of interest, such as innovative pedagogy, historical research methods, digital archives history, and public history. We welcome historians at all phases of their careers, including undergraduate students presenting posters (sponsored by a faculty member), graduate students, and independent scholars. Proposals for complete sessions are encouraged, but individual proposals are also welcome.

 

Papers presented are eligible for peer-reviewed publication in the Association’s journal, The Journal of the South Carolina Historical Association.

 

• Use the SCHA Facebook page to connect with other members for panels.

• Send proposal descriptions (no more than 250 words) and a brief C.V. from each presenter to scha.history@gmail.com.

• Proposal deadline: December 2, 2024.

• Acceptance notification: January 6, 2025.

• Paper submission deadline: February 3, 2025.

 

Please notify us of your interest in chairing a session by e-mailing scha.history@gmail.com by January 15, 2025. Please include “session chair” or “commentator” in your email header.
