On behalf of my Co-Chair Kate Jewell and the rest of the Conference Committee, I’m delighted to announce that the keynote speaker at the 2022 U.S. Intellectual History Conference will be Philip Deloria, the Leverett Saltonstall Professor of History at Harvard. One of the most distinguished scholars of Native American history working today, Prof. Deloria is the author of Playing Indian (1998), Indians in Unexpected Places (2004), and Becoming Mary Sully (2019). He is former president of both the American Studies Association and the Organization of American Historians. His keynote address will take place on Friday morning, November 4, kicking off the first full day of our conference in Boston.
And there’s still time to get your panel or paper proposals to the conference committee. The deadline is June 30. More information can be found in our call for papers. We hope to see you in Boston!

S-USIH Comment Policy
We ask that those who participate in the discussions generated in the Comments section do so with the same decorum as they would in any other academic setting or context. Since the USIH bloggers write under our real names, we would prefer that our commenters also identify themselves by their real name. As our primary goal is to stimulate and engage in fruitful and productive discussion, ad hominem attacks (personal or professional), unnecessary insults, and/or mean-spiritedness have no place in the USIH Blog’s Comments section. Therefore, we reserve the right to remove any comments that contain any of the above and/or are not intended to further the discussion of the topic of the post. We welcome suggestions for corrections to any of our posts. As the official blog of the Society of US Intellectual History, we hope to foster a diverse community of scholars and readers who engage with one another in discussions of US intellectual history, broadly understood.
This is just fantastic. I’m really looking forward to the keynote. I’m no expert in this specialty, but I wish there was more cross-talk between IH and our Native American/First Nation specialists. Perhaps we’ll see the start of something new and fantastic as a result of this keynote and related Boston panels! – TL
