Write for Early American Studies! [Announcement]
Early American Studies: An Interdisciplinary Journal seeks both traditional articles for its print journal and shorter pieces for its website, EAS Miscellany.
Journal Articles
The journal publishes original research on the histories and cultures of North America and the Atlantic world before 1850. The editors welcome contributions from scholars working in a variety of disciplines concerned with early America, including history, art history, literary studies, religious studies, music, philosophy, and material culture studies, among others. We are especially interested in works that employ interdisciplinary methods or source materials.
We publish both traditional articles and shorter essays for our “Consider the Source” and “From the Field” features in the journal. “Consider the Source” articles provide a close reading of a particular piece of evidence–a document, piece of literature, object, etc. The purpose of these features is to offer a close analysis of the source and highlight new information it contributes to the field of early American studies. “From the Field” pieces offer an opportunity to review a debate in the scholarly literature, an exhibit, a conference, etc.
For more information, please see our author guidelines here.
Website Pieces
EAS also publishes blog posts, interviews, reviews, multimedia sources, and other materials that do not fit easily within the printed journal on its website, EAS Miscellany. We are especially interested in pieces that (1) Explore the relationship between the early American past and contemporary issues; (2) Discuss pedagogical approaches to teaching early American studies; or (3) Analyze source materials/methods in an interdisciplinary context. See author guidelines here.
Feel free to reach out to Meg Toth (Managing Editor) at editor.earlya...@gmail.com with any questions. Otherwise, we look forward to reading your submissions!

The History Graduate Students’ Association at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) would like to invite all students to the 17th Annual Rawley Conference, November 6-7, 2025. This two-day conference will be held in person on UNL’s City Campus in Lincoln, Nebraska. The Rawley Conference strives to serve the larger academic community and looks forward to submissions from those in the humanities and other related fields, including but not limited to: Anthropology, Digital Humanities, English, Ethnic Studies, History, Philosophy, Political Science, Religious Studies, Sociology, Women and Gender Studies, and more. While all proposals are invited, preference will be given to those that best address the 2025 theme of:
DIGITAL CROSSROADS: TECHNOLOGY, RESEARCH, & INNOVATION IN THE HUMANITIES
This theme is presented in honor of UNL’s Center for Digital Research in the Humanities’ 20th anniversary and is designed for participants to interpret the concept of ‘Digital Crossroads’ broadly. Potential submissions might offer reflections on the field of digital scholarship and its methods, demonstrate new tools and software, or showcase digital projects that advance our understanding of the human past and present. Alternatively, submissions might explore the impact of digital innovation on scholars, educators, students, and the communities they aim to serve. Submissions may connect to this theme through traditional academia, digital humanities, or other methodologies and perspectives. Please do not find these suggestions to be limiting; submissions are encouraged to push the concept of ‘Digital Crossroads’ as it fits the applicant's research and is open to undergraduate and graduate students alike.
Individual submissions should include a project title, a one-paragraph abstract outlining the topic, core argument, and methodology, and a one-page CV which includes the applicant’s current status, institution, and contact information. Panel and Roundtable submissions should include a session title, a one-page session abstract with a brief explanation of how each project fits the theme of the panel name and contact information of the chair, and a one-page CVs for ALL participants that include each applicant's current status, institution, and contact information.

SPECIAL UNDERGRADUATE OPPORTUNITY:
The 2025 Rawley Conference is offering a new Undergraduate Research Lightning Round. During this session, undergraduate students will be given 3-5 minutes to pitch their papers/projects before a panel of UNL faculty members where students will receive comments, advice, and suggestions for further inquiry. Interested participants should follow Individual Submission guidelines and specify their desire to enter the lightning round. Seats are limited, but projects do NOT need to fit the conference theme.
