World History Association

"Hispanic America in World History," featuring a keynote address by Felipe Fernández-Armesto, William P. Reynolds Professor of History, University of Notre Dame, will be the theme of the New England Regional World History Association’s 2013 Fall Symposium, Saturday, 26 October 2013, 9:00 AM-4:00 PM, at the Dudley H. Davis Center, the University of Vermont, Burlington, VT.

Proposals for papers, full panels, roundtables, posters, and other contributions relating to research and/or pedagogy on the symposium theme should be submitted electronically as a Word document to Alfred J. Andrea aandrea@uvm.edu before 15 June 2013. (N.B. This is an extension of the earlier deadline of 15 May.) Proposals offered by persons representing disciplines other than history are warmly invited. Each proposal, whether for a group or an individual, should consist of a brief abstract that clearly places each contribution into a world history context and a one-page CV for each participant.

Full details regarding the symposium, registration materials, directions to Burlington, Vermont, and a campus map will be available on the NERWHA website nerwha.org in late May.

The weekend of 26-27 October marks the official end of Vermont's glorious Fall Foliage Season, but plenty of color and state-wide activities and attractions await all visitors that weekend. Vermont in October is not to
missed. More so, a symposium featuring a distinguished world historian whose work is well known to all H-World subscribers is an opportunity not to be passed up.
