Call for Proposals<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Submission Deadline: September 30, 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Co-sponsors: The McNeil Center for Early American Studies and the Kislak Center for Special Collections, Rare Books and Manuscripts<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to decades of scholarship, we now know much more about the connections between the Atlantic world\u2019s late eighteenth-century revolutions. Given the complexity of these events as they unfolded in America, France, and Haiti, however, there is still much work to be done. This conference will explore and deepen these connections. The organizers invite proposals from scholars in any discipline working on the French and Haitian Revolutions in an Atlantic context. The conference coincides with a spring 2026 exhibition in the Kislak Center: The Time to Right All Wrongs: France, Haiti, and Philadelphia in a Revolutionary Age<\/em>. Drawing upon Penn\u2019s collections of French and Haitian revolutionary documents, the exhibition will explore these revolutionary movements, which brought many refugees from both France and the Caribbean to Philadelphia in the 1790s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We welcome panels of papers and roundtable sessions on the revolutionary upheavals that shook both metropolitan France and French colonies and populations in North America from the late eighteenth through the early nineteenth century. Proposals may focus on any individual revolution or use comparative and transatlantic approaches that foreground the circulation of revolutionary ideas, images, books, goods, individuals, and practices, whether from the American Revolution to France or from the French and Haitian Revolutions to elsewhere in the Americas.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conference will pay particular attention to the reception of French and Haitian revolutionary ideas and personages in early republican Philadelphia. Participants might address the discursive, visual, and material legacies of the Francophone world\u2019s revolutions as they shaped political debates, print culture, and community formation in early national America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
