Annual Meeting of the French Colonial Historical Society (FCHS)
College of Charleston, Charleston, SC/USA
May 12-14, 2022
Deadline: November 15, 2021
https://frenchcolonial.org/annual-meeting/
The 46th annual meeting of the French Colonial Historical Society (FCHS) will take place in Charleston, SC in conjunction with the Carolina Lowcountry and Atlantic World Program (CLAW) and the Huguenot Society of South Carolina. Conference events will take place on the campus of the College of Charleston and conference associated activities will occur in historic downtown Charleston.
This year’s theme will be “Transatlantic Diasporas,” which invites participants to reflect on the diasporic networks that defined the French colonial world. These might include religious diasporas and networks such as the Huguenots; political dissident groups like the émigrés who fled the French Revolution; or planters who fled the Haitian Revolution; or diasporas of Africans or indigenous people who scattered around the French colonial world and interacted in various ways with colonial and imperial power structures. We are especially eager to receive proposals connected to Africa, the French Caribbean, and connections of these places to other colonies in the Americas. The Society encourages students, scholars, and educators from all disciplines to submit proposals. Papers may be delivered in English or French.Individual paper proposals should include a 100-200 word summary with the title of the paper, name, institutional affiliation, e-mail address, and phone number, and a brief curriculum vitae, all integrated into a single file, preferably in MS-Word.
Proposals for complete panels or round tables will contain the same information for each participant, as well as contact information and a short C.V. for the moderator if one is suggested. The program committee can help find moderators, if necessary. Individuals wishing to moderate a session should send a statement of interest, contact information, and a brief c.v. as well.
Please indicate in your proposal whether audiovisual equipment is required. Given the higher than normal anticipations of travel restrictions and potential of traditional in-person presentations, please indicate if you/your panel would be willing to adapt your presentation to a strictly digital format using Microsoft Teams or Zoom.
Individual or panel proposals will be accepted between September 30 and November 15, 2021. Please send proposals to frenchcolonial2022@gmail.com
Graduate students who wish to be considered for the Shorrock Travel Award should indicate so on their proposal, and should include an estimated budget of travel expenses and other anticipated sources of funding with their application.
Given the specific partnerships between the three institutions, conference fees include one free annual membership to any of the three participating institutions and receipt of access and privileges associated with those specific affiliations. During registration, you will be able to selection a membership of your choice. Lifetime members of each organization will be required to submit the conference fee to cover organization and execution of the conference.

Le colloque et les événements qui y sont associés se dérouleront sur le campus du College of Charleston et dans le centre historique de Charleston.
Le congrès de cette année porte sur le thème « des diasporas atlantiques ». Celui-ci invite les intervenants à réfléchir sur les réseaux diasporiques qui définissent le monde colonial français. Ceux-ci peuvent inclure les diasporas et les réseaux religieux comme ceux des huguenots; ceux des groupes politiques dissidents comme les émigrés qui ont fui la révolution française; ou des planteurs qui ont fui la révolution haïtienne; ou ceux des diasporas des Africains et des autochtones qui se sont ou ont été dispersés dans le monde colonial français et ont interagi de multiples façons avec les autorités coloniales et impériales. Le comité scientifique est particulièrement intéressé de recevoir des propositions de communication liées à l’Afrique et à la Caraïbe française, et sur leurs liens avec d’autres espaces coloniaux aux Amériques. La Société encourage les enseignants, les chercheurs et les doctorants de toutes disciplines à soumettre des propositions de communication. Les communications peuvent être faites en anglais ou en français.
Les propositions individuelles doivent indiquer le titre de la communication, le nom de l’intervenant, son institution de rattachement, ses coordonnées (e-mail, téléphone) et inclure un résumé de 100 à 200 mots accompagné d’un bref curriculum vitae, le tout dans un seul document, de préférence en MS-Word.
Les propositions d’ateliers complets ou de tables rondes doivent inclure ces éléments pour chacun des participants, de même que pour le président.e/modérateur.trice (le comité scientifique peut aussi aider à trouver un président.e/modérateur.trice).
Veuillez indiquer dans votre proposition si vous avez besoin d’équipements audiovisuels. Au vu de la forte possibilité de restrictions concernant les voyages, notamment internationaux, veuillez indiquer également si vous ou les membres de votre atelier seraient d’accord pour présenter vos communications en distanciel avec Microsoft Teams ou Zoom.
Les personnes souhaitant présider une séance sont priées d’envoyer une déclaration d’intérêt, leurs coordonnées ainsi qu’un bref CV.
Les propositions pour des ateliers complets ou des communications individuelles seront acceptées entre le 30 septembre et le 15 novembre 2021. Veuillez envoyer votre soumission au comité du programme par courriel à l’adresse suivante: frenchcolonial2022@gmail.com.

En raison des partenariats entre les trois institutions, les droits d’inscription incluent une année de cotisation gratuite comme membre à l’une ou l’autre des trois et les avantages associés à l’adhésion.
