Woody Guthrie at 100: Woody’s Legacy to Working
Men and Women: A Conference and Concerts at Penn State

The GRAMMY Museum
is partnering with the Guthrie Family and the Woody Guthrie Archives to 
create
the centennial celebrations of Guthrie’s life and work. The year-long
celebration will include a host of concerts, programs, and events taking 
place
throughout the country. Penn State is one of four universities that will 
host
those events, and we seek papers for an interdisciplinary conference
devoted
to Woody Guthrie and his legacy.

The conference on September 7–9,
2012, will include performances on the evenings of Friday, September 7, 
and
Saturday, September 8. 

Papers may address any aspect of Guthrie’s
legacy and influence — with regard to folk music, art, literature, 
rhetoric,
philosophy, media studies, politics, and culture; labor history; gender, 
free
speech, and class issues; the history of social movements; the global 
fight
against fascism; and/or the work of the many writers, artists, and 
musicians
whom Guthrie inspired and influenced.
