Conferences, Conferences, Conferences

I'll be presenting my first ever conference papers during the Spring semester, and rather than be content with just one excursion into the world of professional historians, I'm presenting four times between now and Memorial Day.  No easing into things for me.

First up is the Phi Alpha Theta biennial conference in January, where I'm presenting a paper on honor, chivalry, and the Vietnam War.  in March I present two papers on the South's attitudes toward George Armstrong Custer - at the 2nd University of Alabama Graduate Conference on Power & Struggle I'll be discussing how Southerners used Custer in conjunction with the Election of 1876 to end Reconstruction, while at the 2010 Society for the Interdisciplinary Study of Social Imagery Conference at CSU-Pueblo I'll talk about Custer's changing image among Southerners from the beginning of the Civil War through his death in 1876.  To cap of the semester, I'm jumping into the deep end of the pool, and presenting at the Society for Military History's Annual Meeting at VMI, where I'm presenting a paper about Masculinity in the Vietnam War.

All of this presenting brings up a question: the SISSI Conference publishes a conference proceedings.  Does that count as a publication credit?  I would hate to stick it on my cv as one, only to look like an idiot for doing so.
