CALL FOR PROPOSALS:  2018-2019
We encourage expressions of interest – from historians early in their careers as well as more senior scholars – who might wish to make a presentation during 2018-2019.  We prefer that our speakers discuss their work-in-progress rather than a book or article already in print. Please contact: crovato@chicagohistory.org
