Annual Meeting of the Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations (SHAFR), to be held June 23-25, 2016, at the Kroc Institute for Peace and Justice at the University of San Diego.
I would like to organize a panel either on the history of internationalism or on the history of emotions. If you are interested, please contact me scaglia_ilaria@columbusstate.edu
ReplyDeleteHello fellow SHAFRites,
ReplyDeleteI am proposing a panel on Congress and U.S. foreign relations. The broad goal of the panel is to show the importance of Congress to the execution of U.S. foreign policy throughout U.S. history. My own work focuses on senators and representatives from the Pacific Northwest during the Cold War, and my paper will focus on one of these individuals as representative of Congressional influence on foreign relations during the Cold War. This panel seeks to challenge the continued belief by historians that Congress has typically been subservient to the president on foreign relations. I am particularly interested in panelists who are pursuing new directions for Congressional/U.S. foreign relations study (for example: the role of women and/or ethnic minorities in Congress, or perhaps parliamentary exchanges between members of U.S. and non-U.S. legislative branches.)
If interested, please respond to me directly at Christopher.foss@colorado.edu. Thank you!

Hello all,
ReplyDeleteI am proposing a panel on U.S. relations to the Global South in the long 1970s. My own paper will focus on how anxiety about Third World activism motivated much of the neocon movement and the emergence of a "Second Cold War" by decade's end.
If interested, please respond to me at john_rosenberg@brown.edu

I would like to organize a panel on borderlands and/or environmental history in U.S. foreign relations. My paper will look at U.S. relations with Ecuador during the 1960s and 1970s to show how declining U.S. power and a rising Third World movement allowed developing nations to shape the creation of new forms of state sovereignty over the oceans.

Hi All,
ReplyDeleteI would like to organize a panel that could go one of many ways. My dissertation looks at U.S.-Russia relations in the decades before the Bolsheviks, focusing mostly on the movement of Russian radicals within the country. I look in particular at Radical Russian women and how their stories helped justify Russian revolution for Americans. I look mostly at people who acted as individuals, but I also research military actions in Siberia during WWI and U.S. diplomats.
Potential panel topics could include: Progressive Era popular diplomacy, transnational radicalism, women (and/or images of women) as diplomatic tools, or general U.S-Russia/U.S.-Soviet relations.
If interested, please email me at cgibson2@binghamton.edu
Hi, All
ReplyDeleteI am working on my dissertations about Libyan-American relations in the 1950s and 1960s. therefore, My paper will focus on those relations in different ways. For example, U.S. military bases oversees like Wheelus Base in Libya or U.S. policy in North Africa and Middle East, including Eisenhower doctrine in that region. Potential panel could be U.S. Middle East relations, U.S. policy in North Africa After WWII, and U.S. Military bases oversees.

Hi everybody,
ReplyDeleteI hope to organize a panel on the convergence of U.S. foreign policy and immigration restriction. My own work examines how American efforts to place a quota on Mexican immigration affected relations between the United States and Mexico during the late 1920s and early 1930s. I would like to share the panel with anyone else who studies how U.S. immigration law complicates U.S. diplomacy abroad. While I focus on Mexico, I am more than happy to co-present with someone focused on immigration from farther afield. If you are interested in forming a panel with me, please contact me directly at benjamin.montoya@colorado.edu
Thank you,
Ben
I'd like to organize a panel about foreign affairs in the early republic, with the overarching theme of the interconnectedness of domestic and foreign affairs. My paper would discuss the impact of the Tripolitan War on the political party system. If interested, please email me at jzeledon@umail.ucsb.edu

I am seeking panelists for a panel on U.S.-African relations during the 1960s and 70s. My own paper will deal with the United States and the Nigerian Civil War and the roles of Humanitarianism vs. Political Expediency regarding the Biafran famine. My email is smccullough@lincoln.edu.

I am seeking a panel on Espionage, US Corporations and Economic Sabotage during the Cold War (or a longer frame of reference). My research is on the 1949 Hungarian Spy trial of Robert Vogeler (US), Edgar Saunders (British) and 5 Hungarian nationals, all of whom were employees of Standard Electric, a Hungarian subsidiary of ITT. Please contact me at mmanch@providence.edu.
ReplyDeleteI'm seeking to join/organize a panel on US foreign policy and global economic upheaval or changing North-South relations in the 1970s. My paper will discuss the effects of the 1973 oil crisis on the cohesion of NATO. If interested, please contact me at mbd3dy@virginia.edu.

Dear all,
ReplyDeleteI would like to join or organize a panel on the diplomatic instruments which were used to overcome transatlantic relations since 1945. I have studied the aftermath of the 1973 oil crisis as well as the effects of the 2003 Iraq War and will build on that. Anyone interested in comparative historical analysis in this field can contct me at c.m.megens@rug.nl

Hi everyone,
ReplyDeleteI am putting together a panel related to paradiplomacy on a national scale (with a particular emphasis on foreign relations forged between municipalities) and would like to find one more presenter to complete a panel for SHAFR. Another panelist and I will be presenting on the explosion US-Nicaraguan and US-Taiwanese sister city connections during the 1970s and 1980s. Any projects related to sister cities, less formal town twinning arrangements, sister states, or collaboration between border town governments would be welcome additions to what we have.
If you would be interested in joining such a panel, please feel free to email me at awbell@bu.edu.

Hi all,
ReplyDeleteI am working on bilateral Greek-US relations in 1970s (diplomatic/international history) and trying to organise a panel proposal. Ideally, I am looking for colleagues working on Greek-US or US-Turkish relations during the Cold War. However, if these topics are not applicable, then I think a panel on either NATO’s southern flank, or US approach to Eastern Mediterranean during the Cold War, or transatlantic relations in the 1970s- would be an interesting submission. I am also open to any additional panel-proposal recommendations or suggestions. If anyone is interested in talking about participating, then please do not hesitate in letting me know and I would be happy to discuss further any ideas/approaches you might have. Feel free to e-mail me at A.Antonopoulos@ed.ac.uk
Thanks,
Athanasios

ReplyDeleteDear all,
ReplyDeleteI am putting together a panel related to American non-state assistance abroad (Europe and beyond) and I would like to know whether there is some interest to complete it. I would be interested in presenting on the limits of humanitarianism in the Balkans in the 1920s. If you would be interested in joining, please email me at doina.cretu@graduateinstitute.ch . All the best, Anca
Greetings!
ReplyDeleteI am thinking of organizing a panel which examines connections between the history of the international indigenous rights activities at the U.N. 1982-present, the role of American Indian rights activists in shaping this history, particularly as it unfolded with drafting and adapting the U.N. Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (2007), and ways in which work of the U.S. based indigenous rights advocates influenced indigenous rights movements and struggles abroad (Latin America, for example, but also Canada, New Zealand and Australia; and also Europe, the post-Soviet space and Saami movement in Scandinavian countries). Please share your ideas, visions and ways to move forward with this panel via email uliagt@gmail.com. Thank you!

Hi everyone-- I'm working on a project on the killing of a 16-year-old Japanese exchange student in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in 1992. So I could put together a panel on U.S.-Japan relations in the postwar (or post-1973) era, or something on race and racial violence and U.S. foreign relations. I'm flexible. I've written a little more about what I do here:

Hi everyone,
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to present a paper on the League of Nations' participation in the New York World's Fair of 1939/1940.
This could fit into a panel on all kinds of topics: the changing shape of international institutions and/or internationalism, from League to United Nations; the debates over intervention in World War II; the role of public opinion in America's rise to globalism; art/culture in foreign policy, and so on.
I'm interested in joining a panel on any of these subjects, or, if others have similar interests, in organising one. If anyone is interested, please email me at dja2132@columbia.edu.
Thanks!

Hello,
ReplyDeleteI am looking for a third participant for a panel looking at the role of the military, militarization, and the U.S. warfare state since Vietnam (though we could probably work it out to be post WWII). We are looking at questions such as the following: How and why does the U.S. warfare state persist, and what tactics do policymakers and leaders employ to continue utilizing the military and militarized models? In this respect, what bureaucratic sectors or functions of the government, geographic areas of the world, or styles of scholarly analysis offer the most pertinent insights into the role of the U.S. military in a post-Vietnam world.

ReplyDeleteWe are looking for one more presenter for a panel that discusses myth, memory, and national identity in U.S. foreign relations for the SHAFR 2016 meeting.
https://shafr.org/conferences/annual/2016-annual-meeting
I will present a paper that investigates the meaning of the American Volunteer Group, the Flying Tigers, in the U.S. during the 1940s. Dr. J. Luis Ramos, an assistant professor of History at Valparaiso University, will present a paper that reviews the memory of the Mexican Revolution in the U.S. after World War I. Dr. David Kieran, the author of Forever Vietnam: How a Divisive War Changed American Public Memory, will serve as the chair for the panel. We are looking for a third presenter.

Hi all,
ReplyDeleteTwo panelists looking for a third and possibly a discussant for a panel on American oil companies and government policy ca. 1890-1945. One paper focuses on the role of American oil companies in the Middle East during World War I and the other looks at Anglo-American oil diplomacy in the post-World War I era. Please contact Andrew Patrick at apatric2@tnstate.edu if you have a paper that might fit. We are willing to entertain a shift in the theme in order to get something together.
Regards,

Hello,
ReplyDeleteTwo panelists looking for a third and a commentator for a panel about race/racism and military conflicts, post-45.
We have one paper about the role of race in Vietnam, particularly in regards to public opinion as well as some discussion of soldiers' actions. The paper focuses on the Winter Soldier Investigation and antiwar movement’s arguments about how race influenced public views of atrocity during Vietnam with My Lai as the anchor.
The other paper focuses on U.S. "nation-building" in South Vietnam during the Vietnam War, particularly with regard to American civilian aid workers.
If interested, please email: Christine Lamberson, clamberson [at] angelo.edu
We have a commentator, but are still looking for one last panelist if anyone is interested. We are open to any region and any period within the 20th century.
DeleteI am looking for two panelists and a chair/commentator to pair with my paper on protests against nuclear testing at the Nevada Test Site in the late 1980s.
ReplyDeleteProtestors sought a Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT), to end the arms race and protect the Earth. The protests grew out of the Nuclear Freeze and Christian pacifist movements. Leaders included officers of the Western Shoshone Nation (Newe Segobia), and had significant transnational links with citizens in Kazakhstan, as well as West Germany and the Pacific. The Kazakh "Nevada-Semipalatinsk Movement" played a significant role in Kazakhstan’s breakaway from the USSR. After the peak of the protests, and after the end of the Cold War, the CTBT was completed in 1996.
Any of the following themes could potentially link our papers--and I am open to other suggestions:
• End of the Cold War
• Transnational movements
• Peace/disarmament movements
• Indigenous/First Nations people in international law
• Arms control treaties
• Nuclear weapons development and policy
• Reagan-Bush foreign relations
• The Second Cold War/1980s
• Breakup of the Soviet Union

I would be interested in putting together a (very last minute) panel on American cultural diplomacy broadly conceived. My own paper would focus on presidential cultural diplomacy in the Kennedy-Johnson period but any aspect of cultural diplomacy would be welcome.
ReplyDeleteAdditional themes could also include: New perspectives on the presidency, diplomacy in the media/popular culture, new approaches to the Kennedy-Johnson era.
If you're interested please contact Tom Tunstall Allcock at thomas.tunstallallcock@manchester.ac.uk
We now have two panellists, with another added that addresses the political uses of literature related to diplomacy. Get in touch if you would like to join us.
