The Dublin Seminar for New England Folklife is pleased to announce the subject of its 2025 gathering, Recalling the Revolution in New England, to be held June 27–28 at Historic Deerfield. The conference keynote will be provided by Dr. Zara Anishanslin of the University of Delaware, author of the forthcoming book The Painter’s Fire: A Forgotten History of the Artists who Championed the American Revolution.
We invite papers that explore the contours of artistic censorship in New England from the 17th to the 21st centuries. We are interested in a broad range of papers that address both the activities of censors — their philosophical and intellectual foundations, acquisition of power, strategies of implementation — and reactions to censorship by individuals or groups in the form of public protest, legal remedies, legislative change, or education/marketing campaigns.
