SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS

The call for papers is now OPEN.


The Program Committee of the Society for the History of Discoveries
invites those wishing to make a presentation at this meeting to submit a
proposal to the chair of the committee at their earliest convenience:
[log in to unmask] Imre Josef Demhardt, University of Texas at Arlington,
Department of History, Box 19529, Arlington, Texas 76019, USA / Tel:
817-272-0122.

The deadline for submissions is 16 April 2010.

Presentations on all aspects of geographical discovery and exploration
are welcome. With Santa Fe as a venue, celebrating its 400th anniversary
in 2010, especially welcome are proposals emphasizing the host area, the
U.S. South West and Mexico.

The SHD paper sessions will begin on Monday, September 13, and will
conclude at mid-day on Tuesday, September 14.

Proposals due on April 16, 2010, may be up to 500 words in length and
should include the following:
- the title of the presentation
- the author’s name and address, including email address, and affiliation
- an abstract summarizing the paper’s scope and conclusions (max. 500 words)
- a statement about the originality of the contents of the paper: how
much is new, unpublished material, based on research in primary sources,
etc.
- a statement whether the presentation will include PowerPoint
compatible images or digital audio recordings
- a brief biographic sketch of the author(s)

SHD members are invited to send suggestions for sessions, speakers, and
general program ideas.

The time allotted for the presentation of papers is generally 30
minutes, followed by 5 minutes for question-and-answer.

The audience at SHD meetings is diverse and includes academics and
members of various professions. All are especially interested in the
processes and consequences of geographical exploration and discovery.
Presenters are encouraged to use images (maps, paintings, photographs,
etc.). For the benefit of the audience all visuals have to be presented
as PowerPoint projections.

When selecting papers for presentation, preference will be given to
papers that are intended for submission to the society’s journal, Terrae
Incognitae.

Thank you.
