Under this broad rubric, we invite participants to address a wide range of questions and issues, including: Where do particular fields now stand? What are the truly big questions historians face, and are we adequately grappling with them? How do we think historical inquiry will change in the 21st century?

We particularly encourage panel proposals, though individual paper proposals are, of course, welcome also. Please submit proposals (abstract and a brief CV) to jslucas@bu.edu by January 31, 2010.
