CFP: 2014 Policy History Conference

[We have the following call for papers.]

The Institute for Political History and the Journal of Policy History are hosting the eighth biennial Conference on Policy History at the Sheraton Capitol Square Hotel in downtown Columbus, Ohio from Wednesday, June 4 to Saturday, June 7, 2014. We are currently accepting panel and paper proposals on all topics regarding American political and policy history, political development, and comparative historical analysis. Complete sessions, including two or three presenters with chair/commentator(s) are strongly encouraged. Individual paper proposals are welcome. Because the conference has grown in size, individual papers might have a more difficult time being placed on the program. In order to accommodate more participants, conference organizers have created a poster session which will allow younger scholars to display their research projects.  Participants may only appear once as a presenter in the program.

The deadline for submission is December 2, 2013.  For additional information, visit here or email policyhistoryconference@gmail.com.

Details after the jump.
