>Scholars encounter early America through its traces, the vestiges and
>fragments left behind. And in reconstructing the fleeting and ephemeral,
>scholars also attempt to trace early American encounters.
>
>This conference will bring together graduate students from a wide variety
>of disciplines to explore the various meanings of traces=97as material
>objects, cultural representations, and academic practices.
>
>Papers might consider how people deliberately and unwittingly left traces
>as they moved through space and time; what traces or remnants of the past
>get privileged while others are marginalized or occluded; how written,
>visual, and other texts are both material objects and traces of lives and
>experiences; and where we look for the traces of different communities and
>conflicts in early America. More generally, papers might address tracing as
>a method of historical inquiry, one that both uncovers and constitutes
>objects and archives, as well as the methodological traces that have
>reconfigured early American studies, such as Atlantic history, diaspora
>studies, hemispheric studies, and circum-Caribbean and Latin American
>studies.

>
>We welcome applicants from a wide variety of disciplines=97among them
>history, literature, gender studies, ethnic studies, anthropology,

>and political science=97whose work deals with the histories and cultures of
>North American and the Atlantic world before 1850.
