Call for Papers for the 63^rd annual Missouri Valley History Conference March 12-14, 2020. 

We are happy to announce a number of significant changes for this year’s conference—including most notably an exciting new venue—and urge you to consult the CFP for more details.  This year’s theme is “Constitutionalism and the American Presidency” but, as always, papers and panels in all historical subfields are welcome.  Please spread the word among your students, colleagues, and friends. 

Proposals for individual papers or panels must be submitted by November 15, 2019 to be considered for the 2020 Program.  Please feel free to contact me with questions at mvhc@unomaha.edu (note the new email address for conference-related communication).  Registration and additional information on lodging and programming will be available online in the coming months via the University of Nebraska at Omaha’s History Department website.  All accepted papers/panels will receive an email notification once approved for the program.  As in the past, the Missouri Valley History Conference is also host to the regional Phi Alpha Theta conference and Society for Military History conference. See the CFP for additional contact information regarding those events.

Thanks for your time and interest.  We look forward to seeing you in Omaha next spring.
