CALL FOR PAPERS
VERNACULAR ARCHITECTURE FORUM
1999 ANNUAL MEETING
COLUMBUS, GEORGIA
MAY 5-9, 1999
     
The Vernacular Architecture Forum is soliciting proposals for 
presentations at its 1999 Annual Meeting to be held in Columbus, Georgia, 
May 5-9, 1999.  Papers may address any aspect of vernacular architecture 
in North America or elsewhere and should be primarily analytical rather 
than descriptive in content.  The selection committee especially welcomes 
proposals from scholars investigating the landscape and built environment 
of the New South.
     
Proposals may be for either a twenty-minute paper on a subject that the 
author has extensively researched or a ten-minute "work in progress" 
report.  Selection will be based on the proposed paper's original 
contribution to the study of vernacular architecture.  One-time fellowship 
awards may be available to students whose papers have been accepted. Papers 
presented at the meeting will be considered for the VAF's _Perspectives in 
Vernacular Architecture_ series.
     
Typewritten proposals should include a title for the paper, the author's 
name, address, telephone and FAX numbers, and e-mail address (if 
applicable) and should be one single-sided page (400 words max.) in 
length.  Please be sure to state the argument of the paper, discuss the 
methodology, and lay out the scope and content.  Only one submission per 
author will be accepted.
     
Submissions must be postmarked by October 1, 1998.  Accepted papers, 
tailored to the prescribed time limits, must be submitted to session 
chairs by March 1, 1999.  Presenters must deliver their papers in person 
and must be VAF members at the time of the conference.  Please submit five 
(5) copies of the proposal to Julie Nicoletta, Assistant Professor, 
Liberal Studies Program, University of Washington Tacoma, Box 358436, 1900 
Commerce Street, Tacoma, WA 98402-3100; (253) 692-4468.
