It would be nice if there was some input to this regarding Greek American printers and publishers June S =============== -------- Forwarded message --------- From: Mark Samuels Lasner <marksl(a)udel.edu> *CALL FOR PROPOSALS* *American Printing History Association **2019 Conference * *One Press, Many Hands: Diversity in the History of American Printing* University of Maryland, College Park October 25 to 27, 2019 Proposals due by May 17, 2019 APHA welcomes research papers, panels, roundtables, or workshops covering diversity in the history of American printing. APHA’s 2019 conference, One Press, Many Hands, intends to shed light on the rich history of printing and publishing in America from diverse groups. Generations of past scholars in the field have devoted their research to studies rooted in Eurocentric and Anglo-American histories of printing. However, as the United States becomes increasingly diverse communities of scholarship have sought to engage with issues that have arisen from the transformation in our national demographic makeup. We invite contributions from members of both traditional and emerging communities of scholarship that center on book and printing history, the book arts, bibliographic studies, print culture studies, LGBTQ+ and ethnic studies and the intersections that exist between them. We invite researchers to explore the history of printing among marginalized and underrepresented minority groups through a critical lens. This includes Asian, Black/African American, disability, feminist, immigrant, indigenous, Jewish, Latinx, LGBTQ+, Muslim, refugee, and other communities that collectively help to make up the diverse fabric of American society. The scope is expansive, encompassing any aspect of book/periodical/ephemera production (typography, papermaking, binding, small press, etc.), printing, printmaking, and graphic design based in North America, South America, the Caribbean, or the Pacific Islands. With the conference theme of *Diversity in the History of American Printing*, presenters may consider topics that address the following questions: -What has the press meant for diverse communities across the nation? What contributions have diverse communities made to the history of American printing? -How has the press historically helped reinforce the bonds among diasporic, immigrant, ethnic, refugee, disabled, and LGBTQ+ communities? -How has it worked to build bridges among these diverse communities in terms of forging our shared, national identity? Other topics of interest include: Immigrant Community Periodicals, Black Arts Movement, American Hebraica, Queer Zines, Braille Printing, Autonomous Press, American Mangaka, Novelas Ilustradas, Missionary Printing, Colonialism and the Press, Submission Guidelines: Electronic (preferred) or hard copy submissions will be accepted.
