To Whom This May Concern,
The year 2011 marks the 350th anniversary of the first permanent settlement on
Staten Island, New York. To celebrate this milestone anniversary, SI 350, an
umbrella organization of educational, civic, cultural, and historical
institutions on Staten Island, is planning various events, exhibits, panels,
lectures, and twelve themed history trails. One of the featured events of the
SI 350 celebration will be an academic conference/education symposium scheduled
for March 19-20, 2011 at the College of Staten Island (CUNY). The SI 350
Academic Conference/Education Symposium asks your help in posting the call for
papers for this conference/education symposium on the H-HistGeog listserv.
On behalf of the members of the SI 350 Academic Conference/Education Symposium,
I want to thank you in advance for your attention and help with this matter.

Call for Papers:
Staten Island, New York in American History and 21st Century Education College
of Staten Island, of the City University of New York March 19-20, 2011
Co-sponsored with Wagner College, St. John's University and SI350, Inc.
With major support from the Staten Island Foundation
An understanding of the role of place and the attachment to community in
America has never been more critical than in our rapidly changing global
environment. This conference seeks to explore major turning points and issues
in American history as experienced by the residents of Staten Island past and
present. Located at the entrance to New York harbor, Staten Island is one of
the five boroughs that comprise New York City. Since 1661, Staten Island has
been the home of settlers and migrants from around the globe. Staten Island's
cultural diversity and its regional and global interconnections are reflected
in its institutions, cuisine, art and architecture, businesses, social
movements, recreational tourism, transportation heritage, and in the service of
its military veterans. Our goal is to rethink the significance of Staten Island
and its important historic sites, as part of New York City, the region, the
nation, and the world through the interdisciplinary lenses of history and
Place-based Education.
In celebration of Staten Island's 350th Anniversary in 2011, we invite
innovative proposals from scholars, curators, teachers and public historians
related to community history and education. Proposals must be relevant to and
illustrate the conference theme, including but not limited to the following
topics:
*History of ethnicity and immigration
*History of race, gender, sexual orientation, and disabilities *Staten Island
in the transatlantic world, e.g. Huguenot refugees, the Loyalist Diaspora, the
Free Trade Zone *Staten Island in the history of New York City, e.g. Civil War
Draft Riots, Consolidation, 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist Fire *History of the arts,
architecture, health, business, military, sports, transportation, religion,
food and drink, education, childhood, or of the environment *Geography,
politics, and economics in the study of local history *The historical
interconnectedness of Staten Island to the New York/New Jersey region *The role
of the museum in public history and preservation *Pedagogy, including
Place-based Education, civic engagement and community-based research *Memory
