seminar papers that
examine a wide
variety of subjects
relating to American

fields, and are
particularly
interested in
interdisciplinary

The seminar is open

students, faculty
members and
independent
scholars. Graduate
students and junior
faculty in the
early-writing stages
who wish to present
work are especially
encouraged to apply.
To maximize time for
discussion, papers
are circulated
electronically in
advance. Priority is
given to individuals
who are at a stage
of their research at
which they can best
profit from
discussion. The
seminar meets
several times during
the academic year,
usually on a
Thursday afternoon
from 4pm to 5:30pm,
at the Newberry
Library in Chicago,
Illinois.
To propose a paper,
please send a
one-page proposal, a

the relationship of
the paper to your
other work, and a
brief c.v. via email
