Politics in the Twentieth Century

For more than thirty 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 “Politics in the Twentieth Century.” Contributions could include, but are not limited to, studies of the following:

• Catholic political allegiances and “issues” that impact voting
• Role of Catholics in public policy debates
• Biographical studies of Catholic elected officials and candidates
• Catholic participation in U.S. political parties
• Comparative studies of the Catholic vote across regions, time, etc.
• Role of bishops/Bishops’ Conference in politics

Scholars considering a submission are asked to contact the editor, Fr. David Endres at DEndres@Athenaeum.edu before preparing a contribution. Approximate length is 7,000-10,000 words. We ask for submissions by May 1, 2016 and look forward to hearing from potential contributors.
