As an affiliated organization of the American Historical Association,
H-Net always has a large presence at the annual meetings of the
AHA. As the 2003 meeting in Chicago marks the tenth anniversary of the
founding of H-Net, we are looking to mark the occasion with a series of
events. H-Net will sponsor affiliate session and workshops at the
conference, have a booth in the exhibit hall, hold meetings, and host a
reception. The annual meeting for 2002 will be held in Chicago, January
25, 2003.
H-Net is now welcoming proposals for panels, roundtables, workshops, and
individual papers for the 2003 meeting. The deadline for these proposals
is April 30, 2002.
While the AHA 2003 Program Committee chose not to have a specific theme
for the program, it has indicated that it is "especially interested in
proposals that focus on the ways in which the profession is
currently engaged in crossing disciplinary or traditional geographic
boundaries." As the core mission of H-Net involves building networks
across disciplines and national boundaries, we too are particularly
interested in sessions that are international and/or interdisciplinary in
focus.
We are particularly interested in sponsoring sessions on the
following topics:
- International Collaboration and Exchange in the Digital Age. H-Net is
looking for panels that explore how technology can be used to bring
together scholars across national lines and highlight how such exchanges
impacts the content of scholarship.
- Copyright, Licensing, and Access. Copyright limitations and licensing
agreements loom ever larger in the digital age. H-Net is looking for
panels that explore copyright questions and offer guidance for those
working on digital projects and/or utilizing digital content in their
courses. We are particular interested in panels that look at international
as well as national implications of copyright laws.
- Teaching in the digital age. As always, H-Net is interested in
sponsoring panels and workshops that explore creative ways to use new
technology to enhance history teaching. We are interested in "reports from
the field," papers that highlight experiences with using technology in the
classroom. In addition, however, we are looking for systematic and
critical assessments of teaching with technology.
- Harnessing new technology to assist historical research. How can
networked information and the analytical tools of today's computers be
used to assist scholarly research? H-Net is seeking papers that highlight
new scholarship that demonstrates new research tools and approaches.
- Using technology to impact k-12 history teaching. H-Net is a major
venue of communication amongst k-12 teachers and college faculty. With a
renewed national emphasis on history education, we are looking for papers
that focus on the use of technology in k-12 history instruction. We are
also interested in papers that report on projects that link college
faculty with primary and secondary educators and students.
- E-Print, pre-prints, and e-journals and books, postprints. What are
the new frontiers for historical publishing in the information age? How
can new modes of publication be used to increase access to research and
teaching materials? What role can/should universities, scholarly
societies, and individuals play in the arena of digital publishing?
Proposals for individual papers, workshops, or full panels must include
full name institutional affiliation, email and snail mail address, a copy
of your c.v.. Please email proposals to hnet3@mail.h-net.msu.edu
