We seek panel and paper proposals that deal with any aspect of this theme broadly conceived:
• Proposals that address military, political, social, religious, economic, scientific, class, literary,
individual conflicts, or any other clashes or disputes in the long eighteenth-century.
• Proposals that consider the many transitions that occurred throughout this period—sometimes
arising from conflicts and sometimes creating their own—whether in governance, political
ideologies, philosophy, urban growth, print, the arts, exploration, conceptions of the self, monetary
systems, colonial conquests, technologies, industry, the commercial world, trade, and more.
• Proposals that consider the conference’s theme in terms of the present state or imagined future
paths for eighteenth-century studies.
• Proposals dealing with any aspect of the long eighteenth century in any geographic area.
