Abstracts or proposals for papers or work-in-progress reports are
solicited for the 2011 annual meeting of the Marion Dean Ross/Pacific
Northwest Chapter of the <b>Society of Architectural Historians</b>. This
year’s meeting will be held in Downtown Boise, Idaho. Known as the “City
of Trees,” Boise is the state’s largest city within one of the fastest
growing metropolitan areas in the Northwest. <br>
<br>
This year’s theme is <b>“Taming the West: Changing Landscapes and
Resource Extraction.</b> Submissions for the conference may address
reclamation sites (dams, canals, etc), mining sites, forest/timber,
recreation sites (primarily US Forest Service), or military
facilities. These topics will be given first priority. <br>
<br>
Other proposals addressing any aspect of the built environment from any
time period or place are also welcome. All abstracts adhering to
the submission guidelines listed below will be given a fair assessment.
Graduate students and advanced undergraduates in fields related to the
built environment are particularly welcome to present at the conference.
Membership in the Marion Dean Ross/Pacific Northwest Chapter of the
Society of Architectural Historians is not required for abstract
submission, although everyone chosen for presentation will be asked to
contribute chapter dues for the current year. <br>
<br>
<b>Submission Guidelines:</b> The abstract should be no more than 500
words, and should fit onto a single-sided page. On a separate single
page, include the author’s name, address, telephone number, and e-mail
address with a brief, 100-200 word paragraph biography or one-page
curriculum vitae. Abstracts are due on or before <b>May 14, 2011</b>, and
authors of papers chosen for presentation will be notified by June 13,
2011. Registration fees apply. Please indicate in your abstract whether
you intend to deliver a twenty-minute paper or a ten-minute
work-in-progress report. Ideally, the papers or work-in-progress reports
delivered at the conference should be analytical or critical in nature,
rather than descriptive and aim to make an original contribution.
Completed manuscripts of accepted papers must be submitted in full to
conference organizers by August 13, 2011.<br>
<br>
Authors shall retain copyright, but shall agree that the paper will be
deposited for scholarly use in the chapter archive in the Department of
