CALL FOR PAPERS
World History Association
Ninth Annual International Conference
June 22-25, 2000
Northeastern University, Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.A.
World History as a Research Field
The ninth annual conference of the World History Association will focus on the development of world history research and its relationship to the conceptualization, methodology and teaching of world history. Panels, papers, and roundtables are encouraged on questions such as:
*What are current world historical debates and issues?
*How can a global perspective shape archival research?
*How does a world history research project look different from one formulated in terms of area studies and national histories? What is the relationship of world history and local histories?
*How are world history and recent work in globalization, transnationalism and diasporas relevant to each other?
*How can recent research be made relevant in the classroom, and how can teaching needs help shape research questions?
Presentations of recent research and teaching experience in world history are also encouraged.
Submission Deadline is February 18, 2000.
Panel and individual proposals should include a 300 word summary of each presentation, and brief (one page) resumes noting the institutional affiliation (if any), degrees and relevant publications of all participants. Panel proposals should also include a 300 word general summary, and ideally consist of three presenters, and one discussant/chair.
