The University of West Florida will host the 2020 Annual Conference of the
North American Society for Oceanic History. It will take place 14-17 May
2020 at Crowne Plaza Grand Hotel, Pensacola, Florida. 

 

Pensacola’s maritime history stretches back into the age of exploration.
More than 60 years before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth, almost a half
century before the English planted the Jamestown colony and more than a half
decade before the Spanish founded St. Augustine, Tristán de Luna brought his
fleet of Spanish ships into Pensacola Bay. Luna sailed into the bay in the
summer of 1559 to claim the territory for Spain and to provide protection to
the valuable shipments of gold and silver. Following Native Americans’ use
of the bay for it natural resources, the Spanish recognized the importance
of a protected and deep water port.  Although Luna’s colony lasted only two
more years, it is “America’s First Settlement,” and represents Spain’s first
attempt to control North American territory.  Since that fateful storm, the
Spanish, English, French, Americans and the Confederacy, recognized the
importance of the area’s natural resources as each fought for control of
Pensacola, both as a military asset and for financial gain.  Despite several
military conflicts, numerous hurricanes, malaria outbreaks, yellow fever
epidemics, and other disasters, Pensacola remained steadfast in rebuilding
and recreating its community.  More recent events, such as the Deepwater
Horizon oil spill, severe weather events, and the effects of climate change
have continued to challenge, not only Pensacola, but maritime communities
throughout the world.  

 

Using Pensacola as an example of the importance of maritime connections, the
2020 NASOH Conference invites paper and session proposals that explore
maritime history and archaeology as they relate to larger connections
concerning landscapes, heritage and the preservation of cultural resources.
Suggested topic areas include, but are not limited to, maritime landscape,
archaeology, empire, race, gender, military, cultural contact, environmental
impact, public history, cultural resource management, and historic
preservation. 

 

Papers from graduate students and junior scholars are greatly encouraged.
Students may apply for a Chad Smith Travel Grant to assist in travel to
present a paper at the conference. Additionally, the Clark G. Reynolds
Student Paper Award is provided each year to the author of the best paper by
a graduate student delivered at the society's annual conference. Please see
the awards section of the NASOH website for details. Individual paper
proposals should include a.) An abstract, not to exceed 250 words b). A
250-word presenter bio c.) Contact information including phone number,
address, affiliation, and email. Panel proposals may also be submitted
inclusive of the above information for each paper. 

 

The deadline for proposal submission is February 1, 2020. Please submit
proposal packets electronically to the Program Committee. These should be
sent to: amitchellcook at uwf.edu <mailto:amitchellcook at uwf.edu> , Program
Chair. NASOH members interested in serving as panel chairs, please send an
