CfP: Association of Spanish and Portuguese Historical Studies, Barcelona 2019
The 50th Annual Conference of the ASPHS will take place in Barcelona, Spain, from July 10 -13, 2019 at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra, hosted by the Institut d'Història Jaume Vicens Vives. A
welcoming reception will be held on Wednesday evening, July 10, and
panels will run Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. The banquet will take
place on Friday 12 July.
The
ASPHS invites proposals for panels, roundtable discussions, and
individual papers. A typical panel session will include three papers, a
chairperson, and a discussant (the chairperson may also double as the
discussant). Proposals should include a 200-word abstract for each paper
and a one-page curriculum vitae for each participant, including chairs
and discussants. Please include each participant's name and e-mail
address along with any special requirements. All rooms come equipped
with computers, standard software, and projectors.
This year's conference will feature Paul Preston as
the keynote speaker. Preston is the Prince of Asturias Chair and
Director of the Cañada Blanch Centre for Contemporary Spanish Studies at
the London School of Economics.
A plenary session will be organized by Carla Rahn Phillips and William D. Phillips and
will commemorate the "golden" 50th anniversary of the Association. Both
prizewinning historians are emeritus professors at the University of
Minnesota, corresponding members of Spain's Academy of History, and
founding members of the Association.
The deadline for submission is 1 January 2019. Please submit proposals by email to the program coordinators Vanessa de Cruz and Pol Dalmau at asphs2019.submissions@upf.
Conference
participants must be members of the ASPHS. Graduate students presenting
a paper for the first time at an ASPHS conference will receive a free
membership for their first year, but must still submit the necessary
paperwork. Membership information may be found on the website (http://asphs.net/membership.
Barcelona
is a popular destination, and the coordinators and organizer may not be
able to accept all proposals if the number of submissions exceeds
logistic capacities, although it is our hope to able to accommodate all
feasible and well-presented academic proposals on the history of Iberia
and the Iberian world that are submitted on time. Established members
and their graduate students will be given priority.
