The LA2026 team is soliciting short essays (800-1000 words) about topics related to our humanities discussions, partner exhibitions, and the significance of 1776 to Southern California.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLSdr1lkSX1VufN-SP67pRjPdzSqzUxZcEBd0BrsON8WH12KSSQ\/viewform?usp=header\">We are now accepting proposals for the LA2026 Blog.<\/a> Authors should prepare pitches with public audiences in mind. Essays may reflect on themes in the exhibitions and discussions; analyze key artifacts, documents, and places associated with LA2026; and\/or share original research on early Los Angeles. See the CfP linked above for more information.<\/p>\n<p>Submissions will be considered on a rolling basis (subject to change). Selected essays will be published on the LA2026 website, distributed via e-newsletter, and promoted on social media. While the blog is not peer-reviewed, submissions will go through an editorial review process prior to publication.<\/p>\n<p>Questions?
