SUMMARY:A Lecture by Lauren Duval: The American Revolution told from inside the home
DESCRIPTION:The Home Front: Revolutionary Households\, Military Occupation\, and the Making of American Independence\n\nNEW! We are delighted to announce that Lauren Duval has been awarded Society for Military History’s Distinguished Book Award for a First Book. \n\nA talk by Lauren Duval (University of Oklahoma) \nThis is a look at the American Revolution from inside the home. Prior to the American Revolution\, the urban centers of colonial North America had little direct experience of war. With the outbreak of violence\, British forces occupied every major city\, invading the most private of spaces: the home. Building on a stunning wealth of primary sources\, Lauren Duval vividly captures daily life during the Revolution through the eyes and ears of those who intimately experienced it\, showing how men and women of all races\, statuses\, and states of freedom understood its implications for their lives\, families\, and the nascent American Republic.\n\nJoin us at the Hennage Auditorium\, Art Museums of Colonial Williamsburg\, 301 S. Nassau Street\, Williamsburg\, VA 23188. You do not need a pass to Colonial Williamsburg to attend. All are welcome.\n\n\nREGISTER HERE\n\n\nLauren Duval is an assistant professor at the University of Oklahoma and a historian of early North America specializing in women’s and gender history and the era of the American Revolution. She is the author of The Home Front: Revolutionary Households\, Military Occupation\, and the Making of American Independence (Omohundro Institute and University of North Carolina Press\, 2025). She has published an award-winning article from this project in the William and Mary Quarterly as well as contributed chapters to several edited collections about the American Revolution. Her research has been supported by fellowships from the McNeil Center for Early American Studies\, the New York Public Library\, the New-York Historical Society\, the David Library of the American Revolution\, the Massachusetts Historical Society\, and the Karsh Institute of Democracy at the University of Virginia.\n\n\n\n\n\nListen to Lauren Duval on Episode 437 of the “Ben Franklin’s World” podcast\, hosted by Liz Covart.

SUMMARY:“Revolutionary Connections”
DESCRIPTION:“Revolutionary Connections” \nOberg Workshop for Junior Scholars \nNashville\, TN\, June 10\, 2026. \nConvener: Patrick Griffin (University of Notre Dame) \nThis workshop explores the nature of Atlantic connections and their role in eighteenth-century Revolutions. In what ways was the Atlantic world tied together over the course of the eighteenth century? How did broader patterns of connection and change shape the local?  Should we label the era that saw old empires fracture and new nation-states and empires emerge as an age of “revolution” or “revolutions”? What do we gain if we cast our nets even further and explore how the Atlantic’s revolutionary communities were tied to global dynamics? This workshop invites scholars in history and related disciplines to explore these questions from a diverse array of methodological and geographic perspectives. By doing so\, we hope to place a pivotal moment in global history in its most expansive and compelling contexts.  Privilege will be given to junior scholars. \nThe workshop will bring together six scholars\, plus Patrick Griffin and Omohundro Institute Scholarly Communities Coordinator Joshua Piker\, to focus on pre-circulated\, chapter/article-length essays of less than 15\,000 words\, including footnotes.  Those essays will be due on May 15\, 2026\, so that workshop participants will have time to engage with them.  At the workshop\, each participant will be paired with a respondent who will be responsible for opening the session on the author’s work with substantive thoughts for the author and the other workshop participants to consider. \nThe workshop will take place on Wednesday\, June 10\, 2026. The OI will provide each participant two nights’ stay at the conference hotel (June 9 and 10)\, dinner the night before the workshop\, meals the day of the workshop\, including a reception with the OI Council\, and $500 for travel to/from the conference. Workshop participants also receive free admission to the OI Annual Conference and are warmly encouraged to submit proposals for that as well. The conference will be hosted by Vanderbilt University\, June 11 to June 13\, 2026.  The conference’s theme is “Revolutionary Orbits\, Revolutionary Arcs.” \nScholars interested in participating in the workshop should submit a CV and a cover letter that describes the essay that they plan to workshop\, discusses the essay’s connection to the workshop’s theme\, and situates the essay within their larger ongoing project(s). Please email proposals to the OI at oieahc@wm.edu no later than January 15\, 2026  February 2\, 2026. A committee will choose six finalists and two alternates no later than March 1\, 2026. Finalists will be asked to provide details of their travel plans no later than April 1. \nThe Omohundro Institute is gratified to offer the Oberg Workshop in memory of Barbara Oberg\, scholar\, friend\, Omohundro Institute stalwart\, and champion-of-junior-scholars extraordinaire.

SUMMARY:"Revolutionary Orbits\, Revolutionary Arcs"
DESCRIPTION:Revolutionary Orbits\, Revolutionary Arcs\nThe 29th Omohundro Institute annual conference will take place at Vanderbilt University in Nashville\, TN\, from Thursday\, June 11\, through Saturday\, June 13\, 2026. \nThe program committee\, co-chaired by Christian Ayne Crouch (Bard College) and Jessica Choppin Roney (Temple University and the Library Company of Philadelphia)\, invites papers on all topics in vast early American history. The committee is particularly eager to lean into the possibilities of 2026 as a unique time and Nashville as a unique vantage point from which to think about the multiple revolving arcs of revolutionary events. As the homeland of several sovereign Native polities\, a space of intersecting imperial interests\, and a core region of the US settler colonial project\, Nashville offers an excellent venue to investigate diverse understandings of political genesis and the many ways in which revolutions link\, connect\, rupture\, and alter.  We hope to center work on revolutions\, plural\, and on processes generated by their orbits in North America\, the Americas\, and even globally. \nWe encourage proposals that examine the ways in which historical transits intersect and consider how people create\, adjust\, adapt\, resist\, and exist in moments of transformative change – in politics\, in economy\, in philosophies\, in religions\, in social life. There are many different ways to consider these interventions\, and so we invite multiple modalities for the presentation of work. \nSession format options \nMembers of accepted panels should be prepared to commit either to holding a preliminary meeting with their fellow panelists a few weeks prior to the conference to discuss the themes and points of conversation (in the case of roundtables) or to have read one another’s papers (in the case of research panels) prior to the session.  Doing so creates fertile ground for more engaged discussion and conversation.   \nWe also expect that proposals for panels will include a confirmed chair/commentator. \n  \n\nMini-workshops of precirculated papers — registration required; attendance limit of 15 people per session. Papers (no more than 10-12 pages) are shared 24 hours in advance.  Registered participants and authors commit to attending a two-hour ‘library’ period on the day before the roundtable.  The OI will provide the ‘library’ space\, along with tea\, coffee\, and cookies.  We encourage proposals that experiment with formats\, but one possibility would be to start the session itself with a brief (no more than 10 minutes) comment on the papers and the issues that they put on the table; the rest of the session could feature a free-flowing conversation–moderated by the session chair–involving both authors and the registered audience members.  Workshops could center on primary-source research\, the praxis of history writing including forms of scholarly writing other than conference papers (e.g.\, book reviews\, curatorial pitches and exhibition wall copy\, public history/historically informed op-eds\, digital history interfaces)\, and teaching materials.\nResearch Panels comprised of four participants\, preferably three presenters of research and one person in the dual role of chair/commentator. To encourage group discussion\, each presenter in a three-presenter panel should take no more than 15 minutes; in panels with four presenters\, we expect those people will take no more than 10 minutes apiece. Each presenter should concisely introduce the argument and key evidence\, with a minimum of quotations. And the comment should also take no more than 10 minutes. This will leave around thirty minutes for a more free-flowing discussion of questions and comments from all attending. Individual paper proposals are also welcome.\nWe also welcome Roundtables that consider broad matters of interest to the field. In these round tables\, the four participants should include one moderator to pose questions and facilitate conversation. That moderator should reserve 30 minutes for questions and comments from everyone attending.\n\nThe program committee may modify proposed panels to fit one of the formats. \n\nHow to submit your proposal \nDEADLINE EXTENDED!! \nProposals must be received electronically no later than Monday\, December 15  JANUARY 5\, 2026. \nPaper proposals should include the following information: (1) a one-page summary of the paper\, including a title (2) a one-page CV which states the applicant’s preferred email address. The submission format is Last name.First name_Paper_Title. \nPanel proposals should be submitted by the organizer (who can be any of the panel participants) and include the following information: (1) a cover sheet that gives the panel title\, a one-paragraph description of the panel\, and a list of participants with each person’s role clearly stated (2) one-page summaries of each paper (3) one-page CVs for each participant. Each CV should include the participant’s preferred email address. The submission format is Last name.First name_Panel_Title of Session. \nRoundtable and Mini-Workshop proposals should be submitted by the organizer (who can be any of the roundtable participants) and include the following information: (1) a cover sheet that gives the roundtable or workshop title\, a one-paragraph description of the session\, and a list of participants with each person’s role clearly stated (2) one-page CVs for each participant. Each CV should include the participant’s preferred email address. The submission format is Last name.First name_Roundtable_Title of Session or Last name.First name_MiniWorkshop_Title of Session. Please use the Roundtable upload option for either type of session when submitting your application. \nAPPLY HERE\n\n All submissions will be acknowledged by email. If you do not receive an acknowledgement or have questions about the submission process\, please contact the Omohundro Institute at oieach [at] wm.edu. \n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:For 2026: New Republic\, New Worlds
DESCRIPTION:For 2026 in 2026\n“New Republic\, New Worlds”\nCall for Proposals\n  \nOctober 23-24\, 2026 – Williamsburg\, Virginia \n\nAPPLY HERE\nAll proposals are due April 1\, 2026\n\nWe will post registration information in late spring 2026\, after the program has been set. \n\nCall for Proposals \nThe American Revolution forged a new nation out of thirteen British colonies\, triggering a host of predictable and unexpected consequences. This conference will explore the novel circumstances\, challenges\, and opportunities of the transitional era that followed victory in the War for American Independence. What were the fresh constitutional and political structures fueled by the Revolution\, and what were the possibilities in play then and after? How were families\, communities\, boundaries\, and environments changed in the new era? What were the ambitions of this new nation\, and what do we now know about how diverse communities assessed its prospects? How did the various peoples within its borders and beyond respond to this new moment? In addition to proposals focused on the opportunities and obstacles that marked the founding era\, the Program Committee invites proposals for sessions and papers exploring all aspects of Vast Early America. \n“A New World\,” the final meeting of the five-year “For 2026” project\, seeks to bring into conversation scholarly and public-facing research exploring the far-reaching effects of the American Revolution. The program committee invites proposals for panels\, roundtables\, workshops\, and individual papers focusing on any aspect of the founding era – broadly conceived. The scope of the conference is not limited to North America nor the Anglophone Atlantic\, and the organizers hope to assemble a program that represents the width and breadth of early American studies. \nThose organizing panels\, workshops\, or roundtables should submit proposals by April 1\, 2026. The program committee will also consider a limited number of individual paper submissions and reserves the right to alter session proposals in order to create a cohesive and inclusive program. Limited funds are available to those who do not have institutional funding to attend; participants who wish to be considered for such a travel subvention should email us directly at oieahc@wm.edu. Such requests will not be considered by the program committee when evaluating proposals and will be granted\, when possible\, by and at the discretion of the conference organizers. \nConference Committee Co-Chairs: \nKatherine Carté (Southern Methodist University)\nChristopher Hodson (Brigham Young University)\nDonald Johnson (North Dakota State University)
