The Association for African American Historical Research and Preservation (AAAHRP) will hold its 2009 history conference in Seattle, Washington on Saturday, March 21, and Sunday, March 22, 2009. AAAHRP black history conferences have become international in nature, with presenters coming from countries as diverse as Brazil and England to share their research and knowledge of black history.

AAAHRP is accepting proposals for individual papers, panels, original documentaries, and workshops for its 2009 Biennial Black History Conference. Scholars, historians, genealogists, librarians, archivists, published authors, and graduate students from the United States and other countries are encouraged to submit proposals pertaining to neglected, unfamiliar, or under-reported black history and culture. Individuals engaged in the preservation of black history at historic sites, museums, and history societies are also encouraged to submit proposals.

The conference theme, "Black History: Full Disclosure," allows a wide range of topics including, but not limited to:

African/Native American Relations
Black "Radical" Organizations
Economics
Education
Fine Arts
Forgotten Black Leaders and Pioneers
Imperialism
Individual Black Classicists
Law
Literature
Local History 
Media
Miscegenation
Politics 
Religion 
Unheralded Men and Women 
Women's Movements

In addition, AAAHRP desires proposals that illuminate the history of Africans in Europe, Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, Central America, South America, and Asia.

Abstracts should not exceed 500 words, and must include the paper's provisional title, the author's title and name, affiliation, mailing address, country, contact phone number and e-mail address. The abstract should be sent with a short bio (300-word maximum) to AAAHRP2009Conference at comcast.net. For workshop approval, submit details, including special requirements (300-word maximum); for original documentaries, provide short description (300-word maximum).  

Graduate students should indicate "Debut Paper" if it will be its first presentation at an academic conference. Debut papers may be grouped together at the conference, with prizes awarded based on comprehensiveness of research, presentation technique, adherence to time limits, and other factors. Authors of the first and second place selections will receive $200 and $100 respectively to help defray the costs of attending the conference.

The submission deadline is October 31, 2008. All submissions must be in English.  Please note that proposals are reviewed upon receipt. If you are not ready to submit a proposal at this time, but plan to submit one before the deadline, you should send an "advance notification" to AAAHRP as soon as possible.

If you are interested in being a session chair, please provide your name, affiliation, brief bio and research interest(s), mailing address, country, contact phone number, and e-mail address to AAAHRP2009Conference at comcast.net.
