CfP: Association of Spanish and Portuguese Historical Studies, July Barcelona 2019, UPF
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.edu. The conference local organizer is Stephen Jacobson (stephen.jacobson@upf.edu).
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.
