Open panels: Translation and Transmission in the Early Americas (2-5 June 2016, College Park, MD/Washington, DC)

Dear colleagues,
We hope this message finds you in good spirits for the summer. We write to share information on panels that are seeking additional presenters for next year's conference on translation and transmission. Please find the full list here: http://oieahc.wm.edu/conferences/supported/translation/call.cfm
All panels must be filled by 15 October; please submit early to give panel organizers enough time to review materials.
We have also created a googledoc for people who are willing to chair a panel: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yx1cQiRzzuRq5TYLUBtBRx8on6TCZwD4QYLjYtI4sf0/edit.
Finally, here is some general information on the conference: In the coming months, we will create a page with information on registration and accommodations. All information will be available on the main site, http://oieahc.wm.edu/conferences/supported/translation/index.html. There you will find the program of panel sessions that will convene at the University of Maryland, beginning Friday, 3 June, in the morning, and concluding mid-day on Sunday, 5 June.
We will also feature three keynote addresses in Washington, DC, and College Park, MD. On Thursday, 2 June, Davíd Carrasco (Divinity School/Anthropology, Harvard University) will deliver the opening keynote at the Mexican Cultural Institute, http://www.instituteofmexicodc.org/. Michael Witgen (American Culture/History, University of Michigan) will speak on Friday, 3 June, at the National Museum of the American Indian, http://www.nmai.si.edu/. The final address will be delivered by Anna Brickhouse (English/American Studies, University of Virginia) on the evening of Saturday, 4 June, at the University of Maryland.
We are excited to host such a fantastic community of scholars, and we look forward to seeing everyone in the DC area next year.
All best to you and yours,
Ralph Bauer and Allison Bigelow
