Submission guidelines
The Program Committee welcomes panel proposals on the conference theme as well as panels or papers on all subjects in the history of France, its colonies, and other Francophone countries including, of course, Québec and Canada, from the Middle Ages to the present. We will make every effort to combine single papers into coherent panels, but we encourage individuals to organize complete panels composed of two or (preferably) three papers, including panels that cut across traditional periodizations, with a chair and a commentator. Roundtables and other formats will also be considered. In conjunction with H-France and the SFHS Technology Committee, we also welcome proposals for sessions to be webcast on topics of broad interest.
Please do not send proposals for papers that have already been presented or published or that are scheduled for presentation elsewhere. Please be very specific about your audiovisual needs at the time of submission. All conference participants must be members in good standing of the SFHS at the time of the conference.
Proposals (in English or in French), which will be accepted only in digital format, should include the following items, integrated into one file (preferably a PDF): an abstract (no more than one page) for each paper; a CV (no more than one page) for each presenter, including contact information; and the session titles, proposed chair’s and commentator’s names, affiliations, and e-mail addresses.
Please submit all proposals to the conference website www.sfhs2014.uqam.ca
The proposal deadline is September 1, 2013.
