CALL FOR PAPERS

Liberty University
Lynchburg, Virginia

The Abbeville Institute welcomes papers on all aspects of the Southern tradition from Jamestown to today. Of special interest are topics that prompt critical discussion of moral, political, philosophical, religious, and constitutional topics articulated by that tradition or embedded in it, e.g., the relation of religion to society and government, republicanism, natural law, natural rights, Southern identity and its relation to American identity, etc.

Special consideration will be given to presentations by graduate students and young professors who would like to have a critical discussion of their work. These may be short presentations designed to encourage discussion (around 15 minutes), or more substantial presentations (45 minutes). But presentations are not limited to this group.
