*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.
