Dear USIH Readers,
This is has been a slow summer for original postings, as might be expected from an academic weblog. With that, below is another CFP that I first saw via H-Ideas (hyperlinks added). This one has a wide-open feel to it; I expect that any number of U.S.-based topics would be welcome. Submissions are due March 1, 2008.
