John Hancock’s Portable Writing Desk (Old South Meeting House, Boston)
Greetings, USIH colleagues, old and new! We welcome your proposals for our 2024 conference, to be held November 14-16, 2024, at the Back Bay Sheraton, located in the heart of Boston’s historic neighborhood of Copley Square. Submissions are due on 15 April 2024, and you can find our Call for Papers here.
Our theme is “Knowledge and Belief,” and we interpret that broadly. Your proposals may focus on science, culture, politics, race, religion, gender, government, society, education—covering ALL time periods and events in U.S. history. We are glad to consider submissions that address any aspect, period, or problem from the history of American thought. Our meeting is meant to be a rich and diverse forum for those working in the realm of intellectual history.
Please use the comments, below, to connect with colleagues and construct panels. 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.
S-USIH Friends: Hello! Katy Hull and Tim Lacy are looking for scholars willing to think about Leo Ribuffo’s last book from the angles of religion, Carter historiography, and Ribuffo’s overall body of work for the 2024 S-USIH Annual Conference in Boston. While we all love Leo, we intend for this to be a critical examination.
