Call for Proposals for the 138th AHA Annual Meeting New York

The AHA’s annual meeting is the largest yearly gathering of historians in the United States. All historians are welcome and encouraged to submit proposals for annual meeting sessions. The AHA also invites historically focused proposals from colleagues in related disciplines and from AHA affiliated societies.

The Program Committee welcomes proposals for in-person sessions in a variety of formats and on the histories of all places, periods, people, and topics; on the uses of diverse sources and methods; and on theory and the uses of history itself in a wide variety of venues. The committee will consider all proposals that advance the study, teaching, and public presentation of history.

We encourage lively interaction among presenters and with the audience. Please consult the Annual Meeting Guidelines and our Submitting a Proposal page before submitting a proposal.

Electronic submission only, by midnight PST on February 15, 2024.
