A few days ago the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum posted its program for the upcoming symposium on Baseball and American Culture. Some of the panel topics include:
Baseball in Uniform: America's Pastime at War
Here's the Pitch: Business, Economics and Labor (featuring a paper that was the topic of this post, proof yet again of the "Lounge bump"!)
Red, White and Black: Baseball in Fiction
Swing Away: Baseball in Music, Theater, and Religion
Memorabilia and Popular Culture
Branch Rickey and Jackie Robinson: Baseball's Great Experiment
Pedagogy: Baseball in the Classroom
Views on the Fourth Estate
Readers interested in the symposium (to be held in Cooperstown on June 2-4) can find a complete schedule and registration information here. Related story here.
I presented here a few years ago. It is a great program and uniquely multi-disciplined. Everything revolves around the common theme and language of baseball, so everyone really can talk to everyone else.
