The Abstract Submission Period for SHA 2022 Conference Is Now Open

Good morning,

The abstract submission period for the SHA 2022 Conference on Historical and Underwater Archaeology is now open! 

The conference will be held January 5-8, 2022 at the Philadelphia Marriott  Downtown in Philadelphia, PA.  This year’s conference theme, “Enduring and Elusive Freedoms,” reflects Philadelphia’s place in American history as a center of patriotic activity during the American Revolution and its critical role in the abolition movement. At the same time, the theme recognizes that the lofty ideals put forward two-and-a-half centuries ago remain imperfectly realized. The fight for liberty, freedom, and equality is not a single event, but a continuing process. Historical archaeology, as history from the ground up, has much to add to this discussion and is a powerful tool for revealing and addressing injustices past and present. While the conference committee encourages papers on all forms of historical and underwater archaeology, we especially encourage papers that speak to the conference theme. Presentations by students, both undergraduate and graduate, are particularly welcome.

The Call for Papers for the 2022 Conference can be found at: https://sha.org/conferences/
