SHEAR 2010 Panel: Anti-Reform Dear List Members, I would like to put together a panel for next year's SHEAR conference in Rochester. Over the last three decades we have seen an outpouring of truly wonderful scholarship on reform movements in the early republic, such as abolition, temperance, sabbatarianism, or land reform. Arguably, less attention has been paid to those Americans who opposed these and other movements, for economic, political, religious, sectional, or other reasons. Papers for this panel could deal with any form of "anti-reform" behavior, in word and/or deed, peaceful or violent, consequential or inconsequential. My paper will focus on the response to the American Anti-Slavery Society in the second half of the 1830s, specifically on the questions the existence of the Society raised for conceptions of governance and civil society in a federal republic. (The deadline for submissions of proposals to the program committee is Dec. 1.) Please contact me off-list at akoschnik@hotmail.com Regards, Albrecht Koschnik ________________________________________ Dr. Albrecht Koschnik c/o Library Co. of Philadelphia 1314 Locust St. Philadelphia, PA 19107 ASECS Fellow, American Antiquarian Society, April 2010Francois André Michaux Fellow, American Philosophical Society, May 2010
