The end of George W. Bush’s presidency and the

We are now inviting proposals for papers and panels from any disciplinary
perspective that will address some of the cultural, social, political and
economic legacies of the Bush years and the prospects for the future.
Please send single page session proposals
and/or 100 word individual paper proposals as MS Word attachments to

the word CHASA in the subject line.
Speakers may be listed in the conference
program for a maximum of two sessions. While we welcome a range of
panel formats, all panels should fit within a 75-minute time frame with at
least 15 minutes dedicated to audience discussion.
The deadline for proposals is December
15, 2008.
Graduate students are especially encouraged to
attend and present papers and a small prize will be given to the best student
paper given at the conference.
