We are completing a panel on the history and material/visual culture
of cemeteries for the American Studies Association conference to be
held on Oct. 16-19, 2003 in Hartford, Connecticut. For details on the
conference, please go to:

index.htm
The general theme for the conference is "Violence and Belonging."
Kerry’s paper will examine follies and observation towers as part of
the tourist experience at nineteenth-century rural cemeteries.
Rachel’s paper will discuss African signs and symbols in early African
American funerary arts, and in the folk art of William Edmundson,
1930's African American burial monument sculptor.
We are looking for one more paper to round out the panel, as well as a
chair/commentator.
