Hi,
The meeting will be held in Chester, Pennsylvania, which is an important town for labor history; therefore we would like to have some panels/papers on labor history from the early colonial period to the present day.
Thank you.

Call for Paper and Panel Proposals
78th Annual Conference
The Pennsylvania Historical Association invites proposals for individual papers, panels, roundtable discussions, and special sessions to be given at its 78th annual meeting at Widener University in Chester, Pennsylvania on October 22-24, 2009. This meeting is open to scholars, researchers, educators, public historians, and professionals who share an interest in the history of Pennsylvania and the mid-Atlantic region from the founding years to the present. The PHA welcomes proposals on a wide range of themes and from numerous disciplines, including but not limited to history, material culture, educational strategies and theories, historic preservation, and museum studies. Full panel proposals are encouraged.
The focus of the 2009 conference will be Mid-Atlantic Studies. While the program committee will consider all proposals, it wishes to solicit those that specifically address the myriad facets of the Mid-Atlantic from early contact to the present day in areas such as geography, politics, culture, education, economics, and public history. The Mid-Atlantic includes all states bordering Pennsylvania as well as the District of Columbia, greater Appalachia, and the Upper Ohio River Valley. The committee welcomes panels from academics as well as non-academics, e.g., professionals working in public schools, museums, and historical agencies.
Although electronic submissions are preferred, those submitting proposals through regular mail should send six copies of their proposal.
Proposals must include a title, description of paper or panel, brief CV for all participants involved, and full contact information.
Please send your submissions and any questions you may have to the program committee chair, Janet Moore Lindman, Department of History, Rowan University, 201 Mullica Hill Road, Glassboro, NJ 08208-1701; phone 856-256-4500, ext. 3995; or email at [mailto]lindman@rowan.edu[/mailto]
Proposals will be accepted until January 15, 2009. Participants will be notified of the committee's decision no later than April 2009.
