Call for Papers
The Department of Social Sciences at the University of Mount Union, in coordination with the Ray C. Bliss Institute of Applied Politics at The University of Akron, is pleased to announce its Fourth PRESIDENTIAL LEGACY CONFERENCE.
This will be an even-handed, non-partisan, and scholarly examination of the actions and consequences of the Joseph R. Biden Presidency on the United States and world from a variety of perspectives. We are soliciting paper proposals from across academic disciplines on a wide range of topics, including, but not limited to: appointments, international and domestic issues, constitutional and legal questions, homeland and national security, electoral politics, race relations, media relations, economic and societal inequality, economic policy, immigration policy, and White House staff and the executive branch. We encourage conference participants to engage in conversations and research beyond the customary disciplinary territory, and welcome panels that include multi- and inter-disciplinary scholars across all fields.
Proposals should include a tentative paper title, a brief description of the paper (250 words maximum), institutional affiliation, and contact information including an email address. Proposal deadline is December 20, 2024. Proposals should be submitted electronically to: grossmmo@mountunion.edu. Please put “Biden Conference” in the subject line. Selected papers from this conference may be included in an edited volume.
Please direct questions to Dr. Michael Grossman, University of Mount Union: grossmmo@mountunion.edu or (330) 829.8740.
