Call for Papers
Blue Ridge Parkway 75th Anniversary Symposium:
"Imagining the Blue Ridge Parkway for the 21st Century"
Part I
April 22-24, 2010 at Appalachian State University
Blue Ridge Parkway 75, Inc., the nonprofit organization coordinating the celebration of the Blue Ridge Parkway’s 75th Anniversary in 2010, invites proposals for individual papers, sessions, panels, roundtables, films, or posters to be presented at a two-day interdisciplinary conference focused on spurring, presenting, and discussing serious new research on the National Park Service’s Blue Ridge Parkway. The aim of the conference is to provide information and analysis that will aid Parkway preservation and protection.
The conference, Part I of a two-part initiative called “Imagining the Blue Ridge Parkway for the 21st Century,” will be held April 22 -24, 2010 on the campus of Appalachian State University in Boone, North Carolina. Part II, to be held in October of 2010 at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia, will feature practical workshops that build on the research presented in Part I to help regional and community stakeholders address the unique challenges facing the Blue Ridge Parkway and its region. Though the conferences are linked, participation in Part I of the conference does not require participation in Part II.
