The Society of Architectural Historians is now accepting abstracts for its
70th Annual International Conference in Glasgow, Scotland, June 7-11. Please
submit an abstract no later than June 6, 2016, to one of the 32 thematic
sessions, the Graduate Student Lightning Talks or the open sessions. The
thematic sessions have been selected to cover topics across all time periods
and architectural styles. SAH encourages submissions from architectural,
landscape, and urban historians; museum curators; preservationists;
independent scholars; architects; and members of SAH chapters and partner
organizations. 

Thematic sessions and Graduate Student Lightning Talks are listed below.
Please note that those submitting papers for the Graduate Student Lightning
Talks must be graduate students at the time the talk is being delivered
(June 7-11, 2017). Open sessions are available for those whose research does
not match any of the themed sessions. Instructions and deadlines for
submitting to themed sessions and open sessions are the same. 

Submission Guidelines: 
1. Abstracts must be under 300 words. 
2. The title cannot exceed 65 characters, including spaces and punctuation. 
3. Abstracts and titles must follow the Chicago Manual of Style. 
4. Only one abstract per conference by author or co-author may be submitted.

5. A maximum of two (2) authors per abstract will be accepted. 

Abstracts should define the subject and summarize the argument to be
presented in the proposed paper. The content of that paper should be the
product of well-documented original research that is primarily analytical
and interpretive, rather than descriptive in nature. Papers cannot have been
previously published or presented in public except to a small, local
audience (under 100 people). All abstracts will be held in confidence during
the review and selection process, and only the session chair and general
chair will have access to them. 

All session chairs have the prerogative to recommend changes to the abstract
in order to ensure it addresses the session theme, and to suggest editorial
revisions to a paper in order to make it satisfy session guidelines. It is
the responsibility of the session chairs to inform speakers of those
guidelines, as well as of the general expectations for participation in the
session and the annual conference. Session chairs reserve the right to
withhold a paper from the program if the author has not complied with those
guidelines. 

Please Note: Each speaker is expected to fund his or her own travel and
expenses to Glasgow, Scotland. SAH has a limited number of partial
conference fellowships for which speakers may apply. However, SAH's funding
is not sufficient to support the expenses of all speakers. Each speaker and
session chair must register and establish membership in SAH for the 2017
conference by August 31, 2016, and are required to pay the non-refundable
conference registration fee to show their commitment.
