CALL FOR PAPERS



The Center for Historical Research invites paper submissions for ErieCanal@200. Rather than follow a typical conference format, we limit the number of presenters to between six and eight for the day. Each presenter will have one hour to deliver his or her work and exchange ideas with the audience. Our intention is for presenter and audience alike to gain a greater understanding of the significance of the Erie Canal and its environs.

ABSTRACT SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Abstracts may be submitted to CHR@utica.edu. The deadline for submissions is August 15, 2017. Please limit abstracts to a 500-word description of your research/paper. We encourage submission of papers that not only challenge the orthodox narrative of the event, but that raise provocative questions and interpretations.

Those with accepted abstracts should confirm attendance by registering for the conference. Hotel accommodations will be provided for presenters for two nights.
