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.

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. Session- and paper-proposal forms are available for downloading at www.thewha.org. The deadline for submission is 1 February, so prospective participants should move quickly on submitting their proposals.

A conference registration form is on the same webpage. Because there is a late-registration fee after 1 May, conferees are urged to register as soon as possible. The conference fee before 1 May is $120 for WHA members, $175 for non-members, and $35 for students. Day passes are also available. The conference fee includes two receptions, welcoming hospitality on Thursday afternoon during registration, 3 continental breakfasts, 1 luncheon, and 5 refreshment breaks.

Please go to www.thewha.org site for more information about lodging, registration, etc. Hope to see you there!
