Mormon History Association 56th Annual Conference

CALL FOR POSTER SESSION PROPOSALS

Submission Deadline: April 26, 2021

The Mormon History Association (MHA) is accepting submissions for a poster session, to be held in the Utah Olympic Park during the 56th annual conference in Park City, Utah, June 10-12, 2021. We welcome proposals that address the conference theme, “Restoration, Reunion, and Resilience,” but all proposals will receive equal consideration. Please visit MHA’S WEBSITE to view the conference call for papers. This poster session offers participants the opportunity to discuss and answer questions about their work in a relatively informal, interactive setting. This format is particularly useful for works-in-progress and for projects with visual and material evidence. Presenters must be MHA members, register for and attend the meeting, and be available for a two-hour poster viewing session and reception during the conference, date and time TBD. MHA will waive the conference registration fee for all student poster presenters.

 The submission deadline for poster proposals is April 26, 2021. Notifications of acceptance or rejection will be sent May 1, 2020. Proposals will be evaluated on the persuasiveness of the abstract and the project’s connection to major questions and issues in Mormon history and the conference themes. MHA allows a maximum of four presenters per poster. All posters must be 36 inches x 48 inches. We will provide cardboard, binder clips, and easels for those who request them. Presenters are responsible for all other materials, including the printed poster itself. Accepted posters will be on display for the entirety of the conference. Please send your proposal to mharochester2020@gmail.com. Contact program co-chairs Anne Berryhill or Joseph Stuart at this email address if you have any questions.
