Proposals may explore this relationship in any number of ways, including but not limited to:

• Government, the state, and civil life
• Commerce, trade, and the market
• Media, consumption, and the creation of publics
• Education
• Religion
• Associational life and civic society
• Identity and subjectivity

Graduate students in any discipline are welcome to apply, and panel proposals will also be accepted. Please submit proposals of 250 to 300 words, along with a one-page CV, to Jonathan Dusenbury (jonathan.e.dusenbury@vanderbilt.edu) by Monday, January 9, 2017.
