---------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
