Call to join a conference panel
HOTCUS 2018
Historians of the Twentieth Century United States Annual Conference
Madingley Hall, University of Cambridge, England
June 13 – 15, 2018
Deadline: Dec 15, 2017
The 1960s saw the founding of the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities, the expansion and transformation of philanthropic spending priorities in the cultural arena, and also the exposure of covert CIA funding for a range of Cold War cultural projects, all against the backdrop of this contentious decade. This panel aims to bring together scholars working on United States cultural policy, cultural philanthropy, or the intersections between the two in the 1960s, particularly those exploring conflict or consensus during this period. Papers might explore a range of topics related, but not limited to:
• Federal cultural programmes and agencies
• Philanthropy or philanthropic funding in the cultural sphere
• The creation, implementation, and impact of cultural policymaking at the state or local levels
• Cultural policy and protest or lack thereof
• Philanthropy and government cultural cooperation or conflict
• How artists or academics experienced cultural policy or patronage
• Cultural funding or policy or exchange either at home or abroad
Interested individuals should submit a brief paper description (200-300 words) and a brief CV (no more than two pages) to Karen Patricia Heath (karen.heath@rai.ox.ac.uk) and Amanda Niedfeldt (niedf005@umn.edu) by 15 December 2017.
