2020 Conrad E. Wright Research Conference

"Shall Not Be Denied": The 15th and 19th Amendments at the Sesquicentennial
and Centennial of their Ratifications

Massachusetts Historical Society, Boston, MA/USA

October 16-17, 2020

https://www.masshist.org/research/conferences 

 

 

Deadline: November 1, 2019

 

The year 2020 marks the anniversaries of two critical amendments to the
United States Constitution. Spaced fifty years apart, the Fifteenth and
Nineteenth Amendments, ratified in 1870 and 1920, respectively, prohibited
the use of race or sex to deny American citizens the franchise. However, the
amendments did not prevent states from adopting other methods of
discrimination. Viewed as the product of two different
movements-abolitionism and the Civil War on the one hand and the Progressive
campaigns and the First World War on the other-these two periods and
amendments are not often considered together. This conference revisits the
long journey to secure voting rights for African Americans and women in
United States history. It considers the legal precedents and hurdles that
each amendment faced, the meaning and uneven outcomes of each, the social
context that allowed for ultimate ratification, the role of key individuals
and groups in these respective contexts, and how each amendment has been
remembered over time.

 

This conference invites scholars from various disciplines to discuss common
themes and challenges surrounding the amendments and papers can cover any
topic relating to them. We welcome submissions from all historical,
political science, and legal fields.

 

A keynote panel and reception will take place on Friday, 16 October. The
panel features Profs. Alison M. Parker (University of Delaware) and Lisa
Tetrault (Carnegie Mellon University) and will be moderated by Prof. Alex
Keyssar (Harvard). The full conference day will take place on Saturday, 17
October.

 

Interested parties are encouraged to submit either individual paper
presentations or full panels (with or without commenters) by November 1,
2019. Application materials must include a paper description and CV for
individual submissions. Full panel proposals must include paper descriptions
and individual CVs along with a description of the panel itself. Paper
proposals should not exceed one page and accompanying CVs should not exceed
ten pages in length. Please submit applications materials and/or questions
to research at masshist.org <mailto:research at masshist.org> .
