The Boston Seminar in Immigration and Urban History invites proposals for sessions in its 2012-2013 series. Programs take place at the Massachusetts Historical Society, usually on the third or fourth Tuesday evening of the month between September and April. The Seminar's steering committee welcomes suggestions for papers dealing with all aspects of American immigration and urban history and culture. Programs are not confined to Massachusetts topics, nor are they limited to the research of historians. Papers comparing the American experience with developments elsewhere in the world are welcome.
The audience for the seminar consists of regular participants and others drawn to a specific topic; the seminars are widely announced on H-Net and in M.H.S. publications. Each session focuses on the discussion of a pre-circulated paper. The essayist and an assigned commentator will each have an opportunity for remarks before the discussion is opened to the floor. Papers must be available for circulation at least a month before the seminar date.
The seminar's steering committee would like to fill at least two sessions through this call for papers. If you would like to be considered for a slot, please send your CV and a one-page précis of your paper by March 15 to Conrad E. Wright, Massachusetts Historical Society, 1154 Boylston Street, Boston, MA 02215, or to

Green Revolutions: Fiftieth Anniversary of Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring
Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring is connected to two (very modern) environmental revolutions. First, she drew attention to a radical change in American ecosystems, widespread chemical pollution. Second, she transformed limited and conservative traditions of conservation into modern environmentalism through a more inclusive and radical criticism of industrial society.
To commemorate the golden anniversary of Silent Spring’s publication, the University of St Andrews is convening a workshop to allow academics the opportunity to present their research on environmental issues. Postgraduates are especially encouraged to apply. Similar to Carson’s work, these ‘revolutions’ can be both radical changes in societal attitudes or physical environments. Although environmental history provides the backbone to this event, it is an inter-disciplinary approach and therefore scholars of ecological economics, sustainable development, geography, political science, and environmental studies are invited to present their research. Such a gathering will help direct historians towards subjects relevant to current policy debates, while more present-minded attendants will gain from a historical perspective. Moreover, this conference presents an opportunity to strengthen ties between environmental institutes in North America, the UK, and continental Europe.
‘Green Revolutions’ will be held in St Andrews, Scotland on June 15-16 2012. Presentations will be 20 minutes long followed by 10 minutes of questions. Participants will receive full boarding and accommodation in St Andrews. A small number of travel subsidies will be provided for overseas participants.
Those interested in presenting should send an abstract of no more than 250 words and a short CV as an attachment to Troy Vettese.
Deadline: 29 February 2012
The deadline for submission is February 29, 2012. Successful applicants will receive a response in early March.
