Nineteenth-Century America"
5TH Annual Graduate Student Conference
February 7 & 8, 2002
Sponsored by:
The Society for the Preservation of New England Antiquities

Boston University's American and New England Studies Program
How did Americans embrace cultures of leisure in nineteenth-century America?
This conference will explore the multiple ways Americans experienced - and
recorded their experiences of - traveling, playing, and otherwise escaping
everyday routines. We welcome papers on a variety of topics ranging from
travel writing to landscape design, photography to public
amusements,romanticism to camp meetings, and foodways to consumer culture. We
hope to draw scholars from a wide range of disciplines (including but not
limited to literature, art history, history, theology, and material culture)
in order to generate a lively interdisciplinary discussion.
Please send a 500-word abstract for a 20-minute paper along with your C.V.

academic affiliation) postmarked by October 15, 2001 to:
