The David Center for the American Revolution at the American Philosophical Society invites proposals for works-in-progress for its 2023-2024 seminar series. We welcome proposals from individuals focusing on any aspect of the American Revolution and its era, especially the cause, course, consequence, and experiences of the event (1750-1820).

The seminar is open to graduate students, faculty members, independent scholars, public historians, and others engaged in scholarly endeavors that relate to the era of the American Revolution. To maximize time for discussion, papers are circulated electronically in advance.

The seminar meets once a month on Wednesdays from 3:00-4:30 p.m. ET during the Fall and Spring semesters. All meetings in 2023-2024 will be held on Zoom. The seminar strives to create a collegial environment that will bring together scholars of the era from throughout the world to support fellow colleagues’ work, share knowledge, and advance scholarship.

To submit a proposal, please submit a one-page proposal, a brief statement (2-3 sentences) explaining how this paper relates to your other work, and a brief CV by June 30, 2023 via Interfolio: http://apply.interfolio.com/125882

Decisions will be announced in early July.
