  4. I would like to form/join a panel on US Cold War policy in Africa, preferably with a focus on the 1960s and 1970s. My primary research emphasis is on the US role in the Angolan Civil War, and my paper will re-examine the causes of the American intervention. Please contact me at ajmarino@uark.edu. Thanks!

  5. Dear SHAFR Colleagues,
    I would like to present a paper on one of the many major works in U.S. foreign relations undertaken by Senator Mark Hatfield of Oregon during his long (1967-96) career. Areas of expertise I have include: his work to end the Vietnam War and the peacetime draft, his relationship with Mother Teresa, his broader African policy (including to stop the Idi Amin dictatorship in Uganda), his efforts with Senator Ted Kennedy on a nuclear freeze, and his work to limit President Reagan's military budgets while chairing the Senate Appropriations Committee in the 1980s.
    Panels could be broadly on the end of the Vietnam War, U.S.-African relations, anti-nuclear issues, military spending, U.S. Congress & foreign policy, or food/development aid.
    If any of these topics are related to your research and you'd be interested in joining me to form a panel, contact me at cpfoss@willamette.edu.
    Thanks!
    Chris

  12. Dear all,

    I am a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Cambridge. I would like to organise a panel examining the concept and practice of overseas 'internal security assistance', at various times since the Second World War referred to in American and wider international circles as 'aid in anti-communist measures', 'counter-subversion assistance', 'public safety programmes', and more recently 'countering violent extremism aid' and 'security sector reform'. This forms part of post-doctoral research I am currently developing.

    Given the focus of a SHAFR conference this panel would naturally primarily concentrate on US internal security assistance policy and practices, in particular in the Global South during the era of the Cold War and decolonisation but also possibly in the more contemporary post-Cold War eras of conflict reduction/peace-building and counter-terrorism/countering violent extremism. But ideally I would like to bring comparative non-US perspectives into the policy and practice of internal security assistance to help address questions related to the role and aims of such assistance in foreign policy, its efficacy in achieving these aims, how such assistance can be balanced with agendas and norms related to 'human rights' and 'democratization', and the long-term impacts and legacies of such assistance.

    I intend to present a paper comparing American and British internal security assistance in Cold War Southeast Asia, i.e. 1950s-70s and welcome other proposals in this broad space. To delimit the meaning of 'internal security assistance' (based on past and present practice), this includes police, intelligence, propaganda and communications aid (i.e. training, equipment, advice) or other 'soft assistance' with a primary security aim and more broadly irregular paramilitary aid too because of a long-standing grey area between the functions and nature of police 'gendarmes' and military special forces. This however does not include regular defence/military aid/diplomacy (i.e. tanks, aircraft, training of soldiers etc).

    I am looking for two fellow panelists and a commentator. If you are interested, please contact me at tjm51@cam.ac.uk. I look forward to hearing from you!

    Thanks,

    Tom

  13. Hi everybody,
    I would like to organize a panel having to do with immigration restriction and foreign relations. I study U.S. Mexican relations, and I hope to present my article,“ ‘A Grave Offense of Significant Consequences’: Three Mexican Perspectives on the U.S. attempt to place a quota on Mexico’s immigration during the late 1920s,” at SHAFR 2017. The article gives a sense of how Mexican government officials reacted to U.S. efforts to place a restrictive immigration quota on Mexico during the late 1920s. Is there anyone else out there who studies immigration and foreign relations? Perhaps someone who in interested in how immigrant-sending nations responded to U.S. immigration laws. I'm open to other time periods besides the interwar period.
    Feel free to contact me at benjamin.montoya@colorado.edu

  18. Hello all,

    I am organizing a panel on US-India diplomatic relations during the Cold War. We are hoping to find a third panelist. One paper examines 1960s scientific diplomacy between the United States and India. The other investigates the role of private American charities, during the 1970s and 1980s, and their influence on the US-Indian relationship.

    If you are interested in joining the panel or have any questions, please contact me, Marc Reyes, at marc.reyes@uconn.edu. Also, if you know someone working on US-India foreign relations during this period, please tell them about this announcement. Thank you and take care.

  19. Hi SHAFR colleagues!

    I recently shared a post on here and through H-Diplo about forming a panel for the next SHAFR conference. I've received some great feedback and thought I would update this listing to parallel the direction the panel is taking.

    Right now I am looking for one more panelist and a chair to complete a panel on transnational activism and/or transnational forms of resistance. Although two of the current papers deal with the anti-Vietnam War movement in two very different ways, additional papers need not be limited to the Vietnam War era nor be contained to a certain region.

    Please feel free to email me at codyfoster@uky.edu if you are interested in joining this panel.

    Thanks!

    1. Hi Cody,

      I'm interested in joining your panel - if you don't mind. My paper is about Vietnam Veterans' significant role in establishing U.S.-Vietnam diplomatic normalization. It discusses the veterans'transnational peace efforts against the backdrop of hostile policy between the two countries from 1975 to 1995.

  20. Hello all,

    I am a PhD candidate at the University of Melbourne, conducting an oral history with Vietnam veterans who have returned to Viet Nam postwar. I am seeking other panellists and a chair for a panel on war legacies and/or oral history. The panel does not have to be Vietnam-specific.
    I have two potential papers for SHAFR:
    1 - Power dynamics in the return to Viet Nam: the Vietnamese narrative of the atoning veteran and how individual veterans interact with this; and
    2 - Veteran disappointment in/disillusionment with America as a force for good in the world.

  22. Hello everybody,

    I am a PhD candidate at the University of Kansas. I am looking to organize a panel on decision making and structures of policy making, either in a broad focus or centered on the United States.

    My paper will focus on President Nixon's decision-making structure, and his use of the National Security Council to filter information and decisions. I am interested in how Nixon's office structure affected his presidential power, and US foreign policy, particularly in the Vietnam War.

    I am open to ideas and suggestions, and look forward to hearing from you.

    1. Hi Ashley, I think my paper would fit your panel. My paper focuses on LBJ's policy making process and seeks to determine whether that process resulted in his sending troops to the Dominican Republic in 1965, or whether he manipulated the process to get his desired policy of sending in troops. My email address is semphd2013@gmail.com.

    2. Hi Ashley, I have a paper that would fit the panel topic. I examine Kissinger's use of the NSC's Verification Panel from 1972-1974 as a forum for directing both arms control and nuclear weapons policy. Specifically, my paper assesses the extent to which panel members perceived ICBM vulnerability as a valid concern in SALT negotiations, and how this perception informed arms control options presented to the Soviets.

  24. Hello All,

    I am seeking to join a panel on Ronald Reagan's foreign policy, broadly conceived. My paper focuses on American anti-communist organizations that assisted the Reagan administration in facilitating the Contra War via logistical, monetary, and materiel assistance. I explore the Reagan Doctrine's application in Nicaragua by examining what I’ve termed official and unofficial organizations, such as the National Endowment for the Preservation of Liberty and Civilian Military Assistance, respectively.

    If you are interested in me joining your panel or have inquiries and suggestions, feel free to contact me: joseph_ledford@berkeley.edu. Also, if you know of someone working on the Reagan era or has another panel that I mesh with thematically, please let them know about my post.

    An update to my earlier message. We are currently looking for a third panellist and a chair for our panel on Carter’s foreign policy. My paper focuses on Carter’s foreign policy and strategy in Eastern Mediterranean, as an example of his administration's success. A colleague will talk about the enduring elements in Carter’s trilateralism and foreign economic policy in the face of the renewed Cold War. We welcome any suggestions within the broader theme of Carter’s foreign policy, so don't hesitate to get in touch.

    1. Hello,

      My own work looks at the intersection of Carter's foreign policy and humanitarian assistance in the Horn of Africa and its Cold War connections, which I think matches up with how you have described the makeup of the panel so far. I would be happy to be involved as a panelist. If you would like I can send a formal proposal and CV to you, or a panel length version of the paper that I have prepared also.

      Looking forward to hearing back from you!

  29. Dear everyone,

    A colleague an I are putting together a panel on how public opinion (either on its own or via lawmakers in Congress?) may officially or unofficially shape the formation of U.S. foreign policy.

    We envision this panel to present three case studies from the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries, and we're hoping that such an approach will allow for some discussion of change and continuity with regard to power, the public, and U.S. foreign relations.

    We currently seek a 19th centuryist as well as a commentator and/or chair to complete this panel.

  34. Hello SHAFR Colleagues,

    I am hoping to put together a panel about the reshaping of US citizenship during the Cold War, both in terms of individuals and popular culture. My own work focuses on the training of soldiers for deployment to Vietnam in the late 1960s, and considers how the application of cinematic entertainment to infantry training at places like Fort Ord, CA marked an important moment in this redefinition. I assert this cooperative relationship between the military and film industries as a crucial factor in embedding the military into everyday life, which in turn redefined US citizenship, both domestically and as a global model. I am very open to any variety of papers considering any aspect of this topic, and would love to hear any ideas you have. I can be reached at kelsey.kilgore@mail.utoronto.ca.

  39. Hello all,

    I am looking to put together a panel analyzing the the means by which the United States established, carried out, or justified expansionist or imperialist policies through cultural foreign relations. Differences in era or geographic area are welcome.

    I would like to present my paper on how American desires for increased access to China in the 1840s and 1850s helped lay the groundwork for expansionist and imperialist sentiment in the United States (calls for building a trans-continental railroad, establishing canals in central America, controlling islands across the Pacific) generally associated with the post-American Civil War era.

  40. Greetings everyone,

    I am interested in forming a panel or joining one based on early Cold War foreign policy directed toward the Soviet Union. More specifically, I hope to form a panel based on public support for Eisenhower/Dulles policies or government efforts toward cultivating national support for diplomatic approaches toward the communist threat over the course of the 1950s.

    My own paper deals with public support for policy against the backdrop of both government efforts at cultivating support for Ike/Dulles approaches to the Soviets and the heightened religious mood in America during Eisenhower's terms in office. Primarily interested with the intersection of religion and politics after WWII, my paper would fit well with a panel that focuses on religion and policy, government agencies and the crafting of foreign policy, or domestic influence upon policymaking. If you are working on a project that closely resembles these topics, or find that my paper proposal would flesh out your incomplete panel, please contact me at: akdavis1@ksu.edu

    I'm looking to join or form a panel that relates in some way to U.S. governmental organizations working with with similar organizations abroad. My paper looks at American involvement (primarily governmental agencies like the FBI as well as NGOs) in European plane crash investigations beginning in the 1970s and 80s, helping various European states navigate the complex transnational legal and political issues that arise in the immediate term after such a crash and offering a model in federal organizations like the FAA/NTSB for how European states might navigate them in the future. I could see this fitting with a variety of topics--disaster response, intergovernmental cooperation, management of public knowledge or opinion, etc.

  45. I would like to organize a panel that looks at one of two possible topics on feminist internationalism. The first might examine women as peace activists in any time period, although I am particularly interested in the First World War and the interwar era. Under this heading, my paper would look at Julia Grace Wales’ concept of “Continuous Mediation without Armistice”, also known as the Wisconsin Plan, to trace its elective affinity with feminist concepts of peace and to measure its reception as such. The second topic I’d be interested in deals with intersectionality and the dilemmas of internationalism between the two world wars. For that, I’d like to examine the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom’s multiracial mission to Haiti in 1926 to report on the U.S. occupation.

    If anyone has an existing panel for which either of those topics might fit, or would like to form a new panel around these themes, please contact me at: andrew.johnston@carleton.ca

  46. Hi,

    I'm interested in joining or forming a panel about how American transnationals contributed to and shaped U.S. foreign relations in the Gilded Age and Progressive Era. This could be in a variety of ways and through a diverse set of actors, e.g. in finance, trade, the consular and diplomatic apparatus, or missionary activity.

    My own focus will be on banker Jay Cooke and his involvement in government business (and U.S. foreign policy) before the Panic of 1873.

    If you know of a similar panel or would like to team up by contributing a paper, please contact me at: christoph.nitschke@keble.ox.ac.uk

  47. I am interested in joining or forming a panel addressing the influence of human rights on U.S. foreign policy, NGO opposition to Reagan's foreign policy, or U.S.-Nicaragua relations. My paper examines the influence of human rights advocacy by certain NGOs opposed to Reagan's Nicaragua policy. Within the case study of the Nicaraguan Contra War, I will be exploring what "human rights" meant to different organizations and what those differences meant for human rights and peace activism.

  48. I am interested in joining or forming a panel addressing some aspect of U.S.-Soviet cooperation/conflict during the 1970s or 1980s (Nixon, Ford, Carter, and/or Reagan Adms). My work focuses on Carter's Soviet foreign policy which grew increasingly hawkish throughout his administration, resulting in a decline of detente with the USSR.

    If you know of a similar panel or would like to team up by contributing a paper, please contact me at campbel8@sc.edu.
