Historians Against the War invites proposals for papers, panels, roundtables, and workshops for our upcoming national conference at Towson University, Baltimore, Maryland, April 5-7, 2013, co-sponsored by the Towson University College of Liberal Arts.

The theme, “The New Faces of War,” will examine the many ways that war-making has changed in these early 21st century. Possible topics might include:

the emergence of protracted US wars that stay below the radar of public debate
the concentration of war powers in the office of the president
drone warfare and the human toll in foreign countries
the outsourcing of military functions to private corporations
the legalization of torture
the proliferation of spying on US citizens
the defense budget and its connection to the current economic crisis
appropriate strategies for opposing war and militarism in their new forms
the role of antiwar movements past and present.

Proposals are due by 15 December 2012. Please include a title and a short (200-300 words) description of your proposal, a short bio for each contributor or participant, and complete contact information. For group proposals please make every effort to put together a balanced and diverse group of participants. Submit your proposal electronically to conf@historiansagainstwar.org. Any questions may also be sent to conf@historiansagainstwar.org.
