Call for Participants and Presentations: SAA Research Forum

Call for Participants and Presentations

Society of American Archivists 

2024 SAA Research Forum

hosted by the Committee on Research, Data, and Assessment

July 17 from 12:00 – 4:00 pm CT

July 24, 12:00 – 4:00 pm CT

Virtual Meetings

MAY 1 DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION OF ABSTRACTS FOR THE SAA RESEARCH FORUM 

On behalf of the 2024 Research Forum Program Committee, we invite you to submit abstracts (of 300 words or fewer) for either 10-minute platform presentations or 3-minute lightning talks. Topics may address research on, or innovations in, any aspect of archives practice or records management in government, corporate, academic, scientific, or other settings. 

The 2024 Research Forum will be conducted as two Zoom-based virtual sessions, each four hours long, on July 17 from 12:00 – 4:00 pm CT and July 24, 12:00 – 4:00 pm CT. 

The Committee is pleased to announce format changes to the Research Forum in response to feedback from the last year’s Forum. The 2024 Research Forum will be made up of 10-minute platform presentations, extended from 8 minutes, and 3-minute lightning talks, which will replace the poster presentations. A limited number of presentations will be accepted to allow for longer presentation times, extended Q&A periods, and opportunities for discussion between attendees. An abstract submission rubric will be used by the Committee to evaluate submissions. The 2024 Research Forum webpage provides additional information about the schedule and links to past Forum proceedings.

We invite presentations on research results that may have emerged since the 2023 Joint Annual Meeting Call for Proposals deadline, as well as reports on research completed within the past three years that are relevant and valuable for discussion as defined by the rubric. On the submission form, please indicate whether you intend a platform presentation or a lightning talk. See the full call here: https://www2.archivists.org/publications/research-forum.

The Research Forum Committee and CORDA encourage submissions on a range of topics, which may include:

  • Global challenges and their implications for archives and archivists, such as climate change, armed conflicts, environmental disaster, and human rights; 
  • Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Social Justice (EDISJ) as a core value for archives and archivists; 
  • Collaborating across domains—archives, libraries, galleries, and museums; 
  • Repository-level data: how archives measure their output, outcomes, and activities over time;
  • Centering users in the design of archival systems for discovery; and/or, 
  • Building audiences to increase the impact of archives on society. 

These themes can be found in the CORDA Research and Innovation Roadmap (v1.4). 

Abstracts will be evaluated by the 2024 Research Forum Committee convened by Sarah Pratt Martin (Harvard University) and Chris Marino (Stanford University).

Deadline for submission of abstracts: May 1, 2024. You will be notified of the Committee’s decision by June 1, 2024.

Proposals should be submitted here.

CFP: The Association for Gravestone Studies

The Association for Gravestone Studies (AGS) was founded in 1977 for the purpose of furthering the study and preservation of gravestones.  AGS is an international organization with an interest in gravemarkers of all periods and styles as well as the larger cemetery as a cultural landscape.  Through its publications (including the peer-reviewed scholarly journal Markers), conference, workshops, and exhibits, AGS promotes the study of gravestones as cemeteries from historical and artistic perspectives, expands public awareness of the significance of historic gravestones, and encourages individuals and groups to record and preserve gravestones and historic cemeteries.

The annual conference, to be held in person June 18-23, 2024 in Atlanta, George at Emory University, features lectures, guided cemetery tours, paper sessions, roundtables, exhibits, and conservation workshops.  The Association for Gravestone Studies welcomes proposals from graduate students, emerging and independent scholars, advocational researchers, as well as established scholars and members of AGS.  Presenters are strongly encouraged to use images in their talks.  The AGS conference is a diverse mix of academics and members of related professions.  Recent scholars have come from the fields of history, African-American studies, archaeology, cultural studies, archives, historic preservation, religious studies, cultural resources management, art history, material culture, anthropology, and art.  Professionals include conservators, cemetery directors, monument company personnel, state and local historic preservation office staff, and historic site managers.  Last year, in Denver, we had presenters from Turkey, Israel, Canada, England, Portugal, and the United States.  The call for papers is available on the AGS website at https://www.gravestonestudies.org/.   There will be limited virtual presentation slots too.

We are accepting applications for general papers and workshop proposals through March 29, 2024 at AGSConfProposals@gmail.com.  There will be a separate call for a student scholarship that covers conference registration and provides a modest travel stipend.  This student scholarship application will also be available on the AGS website.
