CALL FOR PAPERS
ANNUAL CONFERENCE
SOCIETY OF ARCHITECTURAL HISTORIANS
MARION DEAN ROSS/PACIFIC NORTHWEST CHAPTER
KELOWNA, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA OCTOBER 15-17, 2010

Abstracts or proposals for papers or work-in-progress reports are solicited for the 2010 annual meeting of the Marion Dean Ross/Pacific Northwest Chapter of the Society of Architectural Historians. This year’s meeting will be held in Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada. Located in the beautiful Okanagan valley, Kelowna is known for its beautiful surrounding lakes and ski hills, extensive fruit orchards and burgeoning wine industry. As BC's third largest city, Kelowna is on the cusp of change, wrestling with new visions for its downtown core, sustainable urban design architecture while remaining true to its heritage.

Submissions for the conference may address any aspect of the built environment from any time period or place. This includes everything from house museums to high-rises; indigenous landscapes to industrial development; stadiums to sprawl; preservation to the public sphere. Proposals are encouraged that address the conference theme: “Small Cities: Balancing Pasts & Futures in the Pacific Northwest” However, all abstracts adhering to the submission guidelines listed below will be given a fair assessment. Graduate students and advanced undergraduates in fields related to the built environment are particularly welcome to present at the conference. Membership in the Marion Dean Ross/Pacific Northwest Chapter of the Society of Architectural Historians is not required for abstract submission, although everyone chosen for presentation will be asked to contribute chapter dues for the current year. Students in need of financial assistance to attend the conference may apply for a stipend from the Wendell Lovett Fund. Please attach a statement of need, not to exceed 150 words, on a separate piece of paper when submitting the abstract.

Submission Guidelines: The abstract should be no more than 500 words, and should fit onto a single-sided page. On a separate single page, include the author’s name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address with a brief, one-paragraph biography or one-page curriculum vitae. Abstracts are due on or before May 15, 2010, and authors of papers chosen for presentation will be notified by June 15, 2010. Registration fees apply. Please indicate in your abstract whether you intend to deliver a twenty-minute paper or a ten-minute work-in-progress report. Ideally, the papers or work-in-progress reports delivered at the conference should be analytical or critical in nature, rather than descriptive and aim to make an original contribution. Completed manuscripts of accepted papers must be submitted in full to conference organizers by August 15, 2010.
Authors shall retain copyright, but shall agree that the paper will be deposited for scholarly use in the chapter archive in the Division of Special Collections and Archives at the University of Oregon’s Knight Library. Electronic submission of proposals is preferred. Please email submissions as Microsoft Word attachments with the subject heading SAH conference 2010 on or before May 15, 2010, to Hussein Keshani at hussein.keshani at ubc.ca.
