Expanding Horizons, Collapsing Frontiers: The Macro and Micro in World History

The 16th Annual World History Association Conference, jointly sponsored by the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee and Marquette University will be held in downtown Milwaukee at the UWM’s Conference Center. Registration begins on Thursday afternoon, 28 June, and sessions run from Friday morning through early Sunday afternoon.

Located 6 blocks from Lake Michigan and the Milwaukee Art Museum and 9 blocks from the grounds of Summerfest, the World’s Largest Music Festival, this venue will afford conferees easy access to the many fine restaurants and cultural activities available in one of the USA’s most exciting cities. Low-cost public transportation is available throughout the downtown area.

Conference special events include, but are not limited to, a reception, tour, and special exhibit of the American Geographical Society Library, University of Wisconsin—Milwaukee, on Friday afternoon and a reception and special exhibit at the Haggarty Museum of Art, Marquette University, on Saturday.

The conference theme, “Expanding Horizons, Collapsing Frontiers” has relevance to Wisconsin, the historic land of the Voyageurs and Jesuit missionaries, as well as the heartland of the Old Northwest Territories. But beyond that, the theme is sufficiently flexible to allow for a wide variety of sessions and papers.
