Posting Calls for Papers
The best way to increase the number of good panel submissions is to send out a Call for Papers (CFP), describing the panel topic.
Subject Area Chairs may wish to post a Call For Papers notice to the H-Net listserv site, an international source of information for scholars. For H-Net information, click on the H-PCAACA Discussion List at left in the blue margin area. Information about H-Net appears, along with a link for posting announcements.
Below are listservs that might suit your subject area. Some require signing up with the listserv. Follow the directions at the site for placing a CFP with the server.
