“Ports, Forts and Sports: Maritime Economy, Defense
and Recreation through Time and across Space,” the
28th Annual Conference of the North American Society for Oceanic
History (NASOH) co-sponsored by the National Maritime Historical
Society and Steamship Historical Society of America, will be hosted
by the California Maritime Academy in Vallejo, California, May 14-17,
2009. The Conference Program Committee invites proposals for papers
and sessions exploring all fields of study related to saltwater
or navigable freshwater environments. Suggested areas of research
include, but are not restricted to, archeology and anthropology,
arts and sciences, history, and/or museum exhibitions. Proposals
that identify the unique characteristics and influence of maritime
economy, defense and recreation in the Pacific and other ocean regions
are especially encouraged.
The Program Committee welcomes the submission of individual papers
and full sessions, preferring panels with three papers and a chair.
Proposals should include a brief abstract of 500 words for each
paper, plus a one-page abstract for proposed panels, and a brief
bio of 200 words for each participant, including chairs. Graduate
students are strongly encouraged to submit proposals for presentations.
Accommodations for PowerPoint presentations will be provided; however,
any other requirements, including audio-visual equipment, special
outlets, or accommodations for disabilities should be included in
the proposal. Scholars interested in chairing sessions are welcome
to send a brief bio to the Program Committee Co-chairs. Please note
that all participants must register for the conference.
