Call for Papers

For forty years the U.S. Catholic Historian has published theme-based issues relevant to the history of American Catholicism. An upcoming issue will address the theme of ŷ����ַs in the U.S. Catholic context. 2022 marks the bicentennial of the establishment of ŷ����ַ women religious in the United States. Submissions that take up the history of ŷ����ַ women are especially welcomed. Contributions could include, but are not limited to, historical studies of the following:

• The impact of ŷ����ַ women over the past two hundred years, both in broader American life and within American Catholicism.
• Biographical studies of significant ŷ����ַ priests, sisters, brothers, or “third order” laity.
• ŷ����ַs and the history of race in the U.S.
• ŷ����ַ-staffed or inspired institutions, including schools, hospitals, and parishes.
• ŷ����ַ contributions to art or architecture.
• Studies of the application of the ŷ����ַ rule and charism to the United States.

Scholars considering a submission are asked to contact the editor Fr. David Endres at DEndres@mtsm.org and guest co-editor Dr. Christopher Allison at callison@dom.edu before preparing a contribution. Approximate length is 7,000–10,000 words. We ask for submissions by February 1, 2022 and look forward to hearing from potential contributors.
