The Consortium on the Revolutionary Era, 1750-1850 (CRE) is an
organization which provides a venue for the presentation of original
research on not only the revolutionary history of Europe in this era,
but also the Atlantic World and beyond. We welcome proposals from the
allied disciplines and comparative studies; in short, we offer a
platform for research into the revolutionary era broadly defined.
The 2009 conference will be held February 19-21 at the Savannah DeSoto
Hilton located in the heart of the historic district of Georgia's First
City. It is conveniently located to allow enjoyment of the pedestrian
tourism for which Savannah is renowned. The hotel is easy walking
distance of the historic squares originally laid out by General
Oglethorpe in the 1730's, City Market, and many excellent restaurants.
Savannah-Hilton Head International Airport is served by AirTran,
American Eagle, Continental Express, Delta, Northwest, United Express,
and US Airways. The airport also features a variety of commercial
shuttles and full taxi service into Savannah.
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, 2008. We are looking for traditional presentations of new
research, as well as roundtable discussions. Proposals from doctoral
students are welcome.
