2012 Consortium on the Revolutionary Era, 1750-1850
Baton Rouge, LA
February 23-25, 2012

The Consortium on the Revolutionary Era, 1750-1850 (CRE) provides a venue for the presentation of original research on not only the history of Europe during the age of revolution, but also the Atlantic world and beyond. We welcome proposals from allied disciplines and comparative studies; in short, we offer a platform for research into the revolutionary era broadly defined.

The 2012 conference will be held February 23-25 at the Hilton Baton Rouge Capitol Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, located in the historic center of the state capital.

Panel and Paper Proposals:

The program committee prefers proposals for complete sessions (three papers, plus chair and a commentator). However, we will accept proposals for incomplete sessions, and individual paper proposals. Session proposals should include name of presenter, title of paper, and brief abstract (no more than one page) for each paper; and brief CVs (no more than 2 pages) for each participant. The deadline for proposals is October 15, 2011. We welcome traditional presentations of new research as well as roundtable discussions and pedagogical panels. Proposals from doctoral students are welcome. Electronic submissions should be sent in Word format to Karl Roider at kroider@lsu.edu or Suzanne March and at smarch1@lsu.edu.
