The Program in Early American Economy and Society at the Library Company of Philadelphia, the McNeil Center for Early American Studies, the Department of History at Princeton University, and Iona College’s Institute of Thomas Paine Studies are pleased to co-sponsor this two-day conference bringing together scholars of imperialism in its multiple early North American forms and spaces.

The Library Company’s Program in Early American Economy and Society (PEAES) promotes research and publication on the origins and development of the early American economy.  Its fellowships, seminars, conferences, monograph series with Johns Hopkins University Press, special issues of journals, and other activities bring together scholars who work in a wide range of themes such as business cultures, commerce, manufacturing, labor, political economy, households, gender, technology, and more.

The McNeil Center for Early American Studies facilitates interdisciplinary research on the histories and cultures of North America in the Atlantic world before 1850.  Its programs include residential pre- and post-doctoral fellowships, a variety of regular seminars, and scholarly conferences such as this one. With the University of Pennsylvania Press, it publishes a major monograph series as well as Early American Studies: An Interdisciplinary Journal.

The Department of History at Princeton University is considered one of the top history programs in the United States.  It offers a rich curriculum for undergraduate and graduate students, including a program in the History of Science. There are over 60 faculty members in the department who offer general survey and specialized undergraduate courses, as well as graduate training covering all regions of the world from late antiquity to the present.  For more information visit: https://history.princeton.edu.

The Institute for Thomas Paine Studies at Iona University supports the study of early American history across disciplinary, professional, geographic, and chronological boundaries. Inspired by the work of Thomas Paine, the ITPS houses an extensive archival collection with particular  strengths in political and media history, and it promotes scholarship and learning through fellowship programs, conferences, community events, exhibits, and digital humanities projects.
