About
The centennial of both the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924 and Immigration Act of 1924 offers an opportunity to explore the intersection of two subjects that have not always been considered alongside each other. 然而,作为美国原住民学者和美国学者.S. immigration history grapple with the legacies of settler colonialism in their respective fields, 上述立法之间的利记手机官网变得更加清晰. Recent scholarship points out that the “peopling” of the United States not only occurred through the forces of international migration, 也反映了土著人民的融合, 从非洲和其他地方被强迫或奴役的移民, and the movement of borders that turned people into newcomers regardless of whether or not they actually moved. 这些群体被纳入或被排除在公民身份之外的程度, cultural “membership,,甚至是留在这个国家的权利都有很大的不同. This conference will bring together scholars to explore the broad themes associated with citizenship and other variations of national belonging reflected in both the pieces of landmark legislation featured here.
The conference and workshop will take place at the Massachusetts Historical Society and Suffolk University in Boston on 11-13 July 2024. The panels and presentations will take place on 11-12 July with the teacher workshop on 13 July.

Teacher Workshop
K-12 Teacher Workshop
作为一个在学术界和公共历史领域运作的组织, the Massachusetts Historical Society both champions important scholarship and supports vital public history initiatives like professional development for K-12 instruction. This conference will serve both constituencies—scholars and K-12 educators—by providing a platform to consider how the classroom serves as a key site of historical representation. 教师将被邀请参加传统的学术会议, and scholars in turn will be invited to participate in a concluding teacher workshop at the end of the conference. We encourage participation from scholars who are eager to engage with and learn from K-12 educators, as well as teachers who are looking to incorporate the latest scholarship into the classroom.

2023会议:帝国及其不满,1763-1773
December 1-2, 2023
Program
About
美国哲学学会的美国革命大卫中心 and the Massachusetts Historical Society intend to host a conference on the theme “Empire and Its Discontent” at the Massachusetts Historical Society on December 1 and 2, 2023. This conference is part of a series of interdisciplinary and international meetings designed to re-examine the origins, 美国独立战争的过程和结果. Our 2023 meetings mark the 260th anniversary of the Treaty of Paris that ended the Seven Years’ War and the 250th anniversary of the Boston Tea Party. We intend to use this gathering to examine the British empire at its moment of great triumph, in 1763, with its enemies defeated and its control spreading from India to the Mississippi; and again at 1773, with its control beginning to slip away in North America as a radical mobilization began against imperial power.
