sah 2012 - 65th Annual Meeting of the Society of Architectural Historians

The 2012 SAH Annual Meeting is now accepting abstracts for 30 paper sessions. To read paper session descriptions and to submit abstracts, click here. A PDF of all paper sessions, including links to the online abstract submission process, is also available here. The deadline for submitting abstracts is June 1, 2011. The 65th SAH Annual Meeting in Detroit will be held April 18-22, 2012.

This year we are introducing an on-line system for the submission of abstracts, which will help us streamline the logistics involved in expanding the number of sessions we plan to offer this year and in the future.

Members and friends of the Society of Architectural Historians are invited to submit abstracts by 1 June 2011, for the thematic sessions listed below. Abstracts of no more than 300 words should be submitted online. Only one abstract per author or co-author may be submitted. Please do not send your abstract to the session chair’s email address as this may delay the review of your abstract or possibly void your submission.

Abstracts should define the subject and summarize the argument to be presented in the proposed paper. The content of that paper should be the product of well-documented original research that is primarily analytical and interpretative rather than descriptive in nature. Papers cannot have been previously published, nor presented in public except to a small, local audience. All abstracts will be held in confidence during the review and selection process and only the session chair and General Chair will have access to them. In addition to the thematic sessions listed below, five open sessions are announced. With the author’s approval, thematic session chairs may choose to recommend for inclusion in an open session an abstract that was submitted to, but does not fit into, a thematic session.
