[Sci-tech-public] FW: Hagley Fellows Conference - Call for Papers

[David Mindell]

"Disaster! A Conference on Disasters in History." April 9, 2011, Hagley
Museum and Library

The University of Delaware-Hagley Fellows invites scholars to join us in a
conversation about how disasters have shaped societies, cultures and
environments since 1700. What makes a disaster a disaster? Who decides? How
have they been interpreted? What are the consequences of disasters? What can
historians gain by studying disasters? We particularly encourage proposals
for papers that explore how disasters can inform the histories of business,
technology, consumption, the environment, work, and everyday life.

We encourage proposals by both graduate students and established scholars.
Financial assistance for travel will be provided to all conference
presenters.

Please email a 300-word abstract and a one-page CV to the Hagley Fellows at
hagley.fellows at gmail.com by December 31, 2010. For more information:
