Call for Papers:
Staten Island, New York in American History and 21st Century Education College of Staten Island, of the City University of New York March 19-20, 2011 Co-sponsored with Wagner College, St. John's University and SI350, Inc.
With major support from the Staten Island Foundation

An understanding of the role of place and the attachment to community in America has never been more critical than in our rapidly changing global environment.  This conference seeks to explore major turning points and issues in American history as experienced by the residents of Staten Island past and present. Located at the entrance to New York harbor, Staten Island is one of the five boroughs that comprise New York City. Since 1661, Staten Island has been the home of settlers and migrants from around the globe. Staten Island's cultural diversity and its regional and global interconnections are reflected in its institutions, cuisine, art and architecture, businesses, social movements, recreational tourism, transportation heritage, and in the service of its military veterans. Our goal is to rethink the significance of Staten Island and its important historic sites, as part of New York City, the region, the nation, and the world through the interdisciplinary lenses of history
 and Place-based Education.

In celebration of Staten Island's 350th Anniversary in 2011, we invite innovative proposals from scholars, curators, teachers and public historians related to community history and education. Proposals must be relevant to and illustrate the conference theme, including but not limited to the following topics:
*History of ethnicity and immigration
