Das German Historical Institute in Washington, DC, veranstaltet Ende kommenden Jahres eine Konferenz zum Thema Accidental Armageddons: The Nuclear Crisis and the Culture of the Second Cold War, 1975-1989.
Vorschläge können u. a. zu folgenden Themenkomplexen eingereicht werden:

- cultural representations of nuclear weapons, energy, and war in film, literature, the media, and the arts
- the deployment of such representations by protest groups
- the global dimension of both nuclear discourse and the anti-nuclear movement
- public responses to nuclear discourse and the anti-nuclear movement
- national grassroots organizations (e.g., the Swedish Peace and Arbitration Society, Finland’s Committee of 100, Great Britain’s Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, America’s Ploughshares)
- transnational protest organizations (e.g., European Nuclear Disarmament, Women for Peace, Pax Christi, International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War)
- the ideology and practices of the peace and environmental movements
- individual demonstrations and key activists (e.g., Randall Forsberg, Petra Kelly, the Berrigans, etc.)
- activist and dissident networks between East and West
- security cultures
- government reactions to cultural and political protest
- the efficacy of anti-nuclear protest
- contemporary images of nuclear apocalypse and representations of 80s-era anti-nuclear politics

Deadline ist der 1. März 2010, das fällt ja in etwa mit dem Erscheinen unseres ersten Postapokalypse-Sammelbandes zusammen (dazu später noch mehr).
