Work that addresses practical and theoretical issues surrounding the interpretation, preservation, commemoration, and public presentation of New York State history is encouraged.
SPECIAL FOCUS:  Women of New York- Suffrage and Beyond
2017 is a year of celebration of women suffrage in New York State..  Numerous groups throughout New York are marking the occasion with lectures, exhibits, conferences, and a wide range of programs commemorating the milestone.  For Researching New York 2017, we especially seek proposals that enlarge and expand that exploration by also considering the lives, work, and history of women in New York from the earliest native Americans to the present.
Proposals are due August 20, 2017. Complete panels, workshops, media presentations, or full sessions are preferred; partial panels and individual submissions will be considered whenever possible. For panel, roundtable, or workshop proposals, please submit a one-page summary of your session, including a brief abstract,  and one-page curriculum vita for each panel participant.  Individual submissions should include a one-page abstract and one-page vita. Submissions must include name, address, and e-mail address. All proposals should include any anticipated audiovisual needs and note any possible time constraints.  When possible, scheduling accommodations will be made, but cannot be guaranteed.
