The conference is an excellent opportunity for graduate students to present papers and receive critical feedback from peers and experts in the field. We encourage submissions by graduate students working on any aspect of the Cold War, broadly defined. Of particular interest are papers that make use of newly available primary sources. A two-page proposal and a brief academic C.V. (in Word or PDF format), should be
submitted to [email protected] by 15 January 2008 to be considered. Notification of acceptance will be made by 5 February.
Successful applicants will be expected to email their papers (no longer than 25 pages) by 21 March. The author of the strongest paper will be given an opportunity to publish his/her article in Cold War History.
Further questions may be directed to the conference coordinator, Jessica Chapman, at the aforementioned e-mail address.
