The 29th Omohundro Institute annual conference will take place at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN, from Thursday, June 11, through Saturday, June 13, 2026.The program committee, co-chaired by Christian Ayne Crouch (Bard College) and Jessica Choppin Roney (Temple University and the Library Company of Philadelphia), invites papers on all topics in vast early American history. The committee is particularly eager to lean into the possibilities of 2026 as a unique time and Nashville as a unique vantage point from which to think about the multiple revolving arcs of revolutionary events. As the homeland of several sovereign Native polities, a space of intersecting imperial interests, and a core region of the US settler-colonial project, Nashville offers an excellent venue for investigating diverse understandings of political genesis and the many ways in which revolutions link, connect, rupture, and alter. We hope to center work on revolutions, plural, and on processes generated by their orbits in North America, the Americas, and even globally.
We encourage proposals that examine the ways in which historical transits intersect and consider how people create, adjust, adapt, resist, and exist in moments of transformative change – in politics, in economy, in philosophies, in religions, in social life. There are many ways to consider these interventions, so we invite multiple modalities for presenting the work.
