Van Slyck, SAH First Vice President, Dayton Professor of Art History and Architectural Studies, Connecticut College The 2012 SAH Annual Meeting is now accepting abstracts for 35 paper sessions. To read paper session descriptions and to submit abstracts, click here<http://asoft130.securesites.net/secure/sah/index.php?src=gendocs&ref=call%20for%20papers%202012&category=Annual%20Meeting%20Detroit%202012>. A PDF of all paper sessions, including links to the online abstract submission process, is also available here<http://www.sah.org/clientuploads/PDFs/Call%20for%20Papers%20Final%202012.pdf>. 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 no later than 1 June 2011, for the thematic sessions listed below. Abstracts of no more than 300 words should be submitted online<http://sah.conference-services.net/authorlogin.asp?conferenceID=2607&language=en-uk>. 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. Change is afoot in the paper submission process and schedule, so we ask that you read this call for papers with extra care. Note particularly that the deadline for submitting abstracts is earlier this year: June 1, 2011. Our goal is to allow session chairs to make decisions earlier, so the Fellowship Committee may make decisions about travel grants earlier. This will allow everyone to know their funding situation well in advance of the meeting, giving them time to secure alternative funding (if necessary) to be able to attend the conference. We are also introducing this year 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. Please do not send the abstract to the Session Chair's email address as this may delay the review of your abstract or possibly void your submission. Members and friends of the Society of Architectural Historians are invited to submit abstracts no later than June 1, 2011/for the thematic sessions. Abstracts of no more than 300 words should be submitted online via the SAH website at www.sah.org<http://www.sah.org>. Only one abstract per author or co-author may be submitted. You will be prompted to fill in the fields with your name, professional affiliation [graduate students in brackets], title of paper and appropriate session. You will then be prompted to paste the abstract into the open field. Full details will be on the website. 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. Only one submission per author will be accepted. The new SAH online submission process will only accept the first submission per person. 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. Thematic session chairs will notify all persons submitting abstracts to thematic sessions of the acceptance or rejection of their proposals by July 15 2011. Those submitting to the Open Session will be notified by July 29 2011. All session chairs have the prerogative to recommend changes to the abstract in order to ensure it addresses the session theme, and to suggest editorial revisions to a paper in order to make it satisfy session guidelines; it is the responsibility of the session chairs to inform speakers of those guidelines, as well as of the general expectations for participation in the session and the annual meeting. Authors of accepted proposals must submit the complete text of their papers to their session chair by January 10, 2012. Session chairs will return papers with comments to speakers by February 7, 2012. Speakers must complete any revisions and distribute copies of their paper to the session chair and the other session speakers by February 28, 2012. Session chairs reserve the right to withhold a paper from the program if the author has not complied with those guidelines. Please note: Each speaker is expected to fund his or her own travel and expenses to Detroit. SAH has a limited number of partial fellowships for which Annual Meeting speakers may apply. However, SAH's funding is not sufficient to support the expenses of all speakers.
