Carter G. Woodson and the Origins of Multiculturalism
The Association for the Study of African American Life and History is soliciting papers for its
93rd Annual Conference. The conference theme foregrounds early twentieth century efforts
to promote the vision that true democracy requires tolerance of cultural differences.
Through painstaking research chronicling the historical contributions of African Americans to
the growth and development of the United States, Carter G. Woodson played a prominent
role in laying the foundation for a rethinking of American identity and for contemporary
multicultural discourses. Submissions are encouraged that address the origins, evolution,
and implications of various concepts of multiculturalism. The theme allows for broad and
varied discussions of the implications of contemporary approaches to multiculturalism for
people of African descent across the world.
ASALH invites scholars from all disciplines to make presentations in Birmingham on African
and African American life, history, thought, and culture from the Atlantic coast of West Africa
to the Caribbean Islands, Latin America, and the United States. Preference will be given to
session proposals that address the specific conference theme; however, submissions
addressing other important topics are invited and will be gladly received. ASALH supports
and values all scholarship examining the history and lives of peoples of African descent.
ASALH has begun accepting proposals. The deadline for submissions is May 19, 2008.
All proposals must be submitted electronically to ASALH. For information on how to make
electronic submissions, please click the link in the green box at the top right of this page.
