The Arab American National Museum (AANM) and the Arab American Historical Foundation (AAHF) are seeking proposals for papers for the 2008 Arab American History Conference. This year’s conference will be held at the AANM in Dearborn, Michigan, Nov. 1, 2008. 

The AANM and the AAHF are partnering to bring about a conference which collects and disseminates research about Arab Americans and Arab American history. To this end, we are accepting proposals for papers on topics dealing with Arab Americans within the disciplines of humanities and the social sciences on contemporary or historical issues related to Arab Americans.

PAPERS: Please send a one-page abstract (250 – 300 words) for a 15 – 20 minute presentation relating to Arab Americans in a contemporary or historical context. Send paper abstracts to aahistory@accesscommunity.org.

In your proposal, be sure to include your name, the title of your presentation, an email and/or postal address, your occupation, academic affiliation (if applicable), resume, and your A/V needs.  Papers will be selected by the Conference committee and selected participants will receive an invitation to present at the Forum.  Proceedings from the Conference will be compiled and made available to the public and researchers. A partial subsidy to presenters is available.

The deadline for proposal submission is June 30, 2008.
Selected participants will be notified by July 15, 2008.

For immediate information on the conference or submitting paper proposals, please contact Tara Fritzler at 313.624.0224 or tlsfritzler@accesscommunity.org .

The Arab American National Museum's mission is to document, preserve, celebrate, and educate the public on the history, life, culture and contributions of Arab Americans. We serve as a resource to enhance knowledge and understanding about Arab Americans and their presence in the United States.
