Attitudes Towards Federal Government Investment in Public Services, 1945-2010
29 May 2012
The Rothmere American Institute at University of Oxford is happy to invite papers for the Rothermere American Institute's Annual Postgraduate Conference. Bringing together postgraduate and early-career academics, this conference will investigate the conflicting demands of the American public for fiscal responsibility coupled with expensive programmatic commitments. By examining this paradox in practice, the conference committee hopes to develop a novel perspective on domestic postwar political development. The committee is also pleased to announce that the plenary lecture will be given by Lawrence Glickman, Chair of History at the University of South Carolina, entitled "The Public Spending Debate in the Postwar United States."
Submissions are encouraged from postgraduate scholars and early-career academics working on all aspects of political and institutional history, social and economic history, and the history of race and southern partisan change. To give all papers proper consideration, proposals of no more than 300 words should be submitted by March 9, 2012. Submissions should be sent to the email address below. Applicants will be informed whether their paper has been accepted by March 16, 2012.
