Looking ahead to the sesquicentenary of the Emancipation Proclamation, SASA is pleased to welcome distinguished historian Eric Foner as keynote speaker for our next biennial conference, January 31-February 2, 2013 in Charleston, S.C. “We All Declare For Liberty,” our brrrrrroad theme, is from an observation Abraham Lincoln made less than a year before his assassination: “We all declare for liberty, but in using the same word we do not all mean the same thing.” As conference co-chairs, Scott Peeples of the College of Charleston and I welcome a range of panel proposals and individual paper proposals that zero in on one or more of these three intertwined and still contested terms—“emancipation,” “liberty” and “freedom” placing them in a range of contexts reflecting the richness of American Studies. As ever, we also welcome proposals on other topics; as ever, we will award our Critoph Prize to the conference’s best paper by a graduate student. Our 2013 bienniale will be our third consecutive one to include an interdisciplinary roundtable with the author of an especially impressive book: Prof. Foner has graciously agreed to participate in a colloquy, at this Charleston conference, on his Pulitzer Prize- and Bancroft Prize-winning _The Fiery Trial: Abraham Lincoln and American Slavery_. For more details, visit our Facebook page or our wee portion of theasa.net.
Looking forward,
—Dennis Moore
SASA President, 2011-‘013
