[Lasa] Call for Proposals International Mountain Studies Conference October 10 and 11, 2024

[Ximena Sosa C]

The Center for Appalachian Studies and the academic program in Appalachian
studies in the Department of Interdisciplinary Studies at Appalachian State
University in Boone, North Carolina, are pleased to invite in-person and
virtual participation in an International Mountain Studies Conference to be
held October 10 and 11, 2024. This interdisciplinary conference will bring
together scholars in the humanities and social sciences whose work
intersects with mountains. Non-academics engaged in mountain life and work
(members of governmental and non-governmental organizations, arts
organizations, tourism and economic development organizations, etc.) are
welcome to join the conversation to share their professional perspectives
on mountains and mountain communities.

This conference will highlight the growing academic field of mountain
humanities studies, in particular, encouraging comparative studies of and
exchanges between the Appalachian Mountains--the physical site of the
conference--and other mountain regions around the world. There is no
conference fee. Conference presentations and events are free and open to
the public.

Proposals for papers, sessions, roundtables, posters, and creative
endeavors related to mountains are due September 30, 2024 via this Google
Form. (Proposals will be reviewed upon submission.)

The conference begins with an in-person kickoff event, the Mountain Studies
Lecture 2024, sponsored by Appalachian State University's College of Arts
and Sciences on the evening of October 9.
