VAF Session at 2015 SAH in Chicago

SAH 68th Annual Conference

 

VAF is sponsoring a paper session on “Chicago Vernacular” at the 2015 Society of Architectural Historians Annual Conference in Chicago, April 15-19, 2015.  The session is designed to explore a range of vernacular architectural topics and methods associated with metropolitan Chicago.  Papers are welcome that investigate the ordinary landscapes of Chicagoland from any number of approaches, including architectural history, material culture and cultural landscapes, and those that address symbolic systems, literary representations, and social justice perspectives.

Proposals (including an abstract of no more than 300 words plus a short CV) should be submitted by June 6, 2014 to either session chair: James Michael Buckley, University of California, Berkeley, jbuckley@berkeley.edu or Marta Gutman, City College of New York, mgutman@ccny.cuny.edu.  The complete call for proposals with paper guidelines is available at http://www.sah.org/docs/conference/cfp-2015-sah-annual-conference-in-chicago-april-15-19.pdf?sfvrsn=8.
