Weekend Roundup

• CFP: October 14-15, 2011, the Department of History at Kennesaw State University will convene a conference on "Integrating the Workplace: A Retrospective on the 50th Anniversary of 'Plans for Progress.'" The Department invites "proposals that cover any aspect of workplace integration in the post-World War II era, with a preference for papers dealing with the period 1960-1990." More information is here. (Hat tip: H-Law) 

• Chris Beneke, writing for the Historical Society, has posted Ten Commandments for book reviewers (e.g., #4: "Thou shalt not treat the omission of your own book from the endnotes as a personal affront, punishable by withering historiographical criticism.").

• Over at the UNC Press Blog, Jill Ogline Titus (Washington college) previews some of the material she develops in Brown’s Battleground: Students, Segregationists, and the Struggle for Justice in Prince Edward County, Virginia (forthcoming, December 2011).

The Weekend Roundup is a weekly feature compiled by all the Legal History bloggers.
