Notice of venue change: We hope you will join us on February 6-8, 2025, when the meeting's theme will be "Lost and Found in the Eighteenth Century." The venue has been moved from Shreveport LA to Dallas TX. A registration form and link for hotel reservations will be available next week.

Please check out our Call for Papers, which includes a number of proposed panels. If any of these topics fits your idea for a proposal, please contact the panel organizer directly. Otherwise, email your suggestion to Kevin Cope: encope@lsu.edu

Our conference hotel will be the historic Magnolia Hotel. Nestled in the heart of Downtown Dallas, this beautiful beaux-arts building--once home to the executive offices of the Magnolia (which later became Mobil) Petroleum Company--provides easy access on foot or by public transportation to many of Dallas's cultural and historic destinations, including the Dallas Arts District, the Sixth Floor Museum at Dealy Plaza, and Dallas Heritage Village. Live music and good food are also a short walk away.
