Call for Papers
The Society for Military History announces a call for papers for its 91st Annual Meeting in Mobile, Alabama, March 27-30, 2025, at the Battle House Renaissance Mobile Hotel and the Renaissance Mobile Riverview Plaza Hotel.
The Program Committee’s objective is to create a slate of panels that represent the breadth of expertise and interests as well as the overall diversity of the Society’s wide-ranging membership. Individual paper and panel proposals on all facets of military history broadly defined will be considered for inclusion. Members in the academic community, the armed forces and governmental agencies, museums and archives, and independent scholars, as well as international members are encouraged to participate.
Priority will be given to individual paper and panel submissions that highlight the presentation of original research, new interpretations, topics of immediate interest to our membership, and cutting edge trends and subject matter. Submission of Roundtables is encouraged; but preference will be given to panels that present new, original research.
All submissions will be judged on their merit using the above criteria.
