We are excited to be hosted for the first time by a public school district--Albuquerque Public Schools, with the venue at Albuquerque High School, the oldest public high school in New Mexico. While it may be the oldest, it is also state of the art, with full A/V support and high-speed wireless in all session rooms, hundreds of computers available to us, state-of-the-art lecture halls with excellent sound and light equipment, and a wonderful space for Exhibitors. Albuquerque is also a fantastic city with its charming Old Town, the Sandia Mountains as a backdrop to the city, a mild climate, the National Hispanic Cultural Center, and the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center all within a few minutes drive of the conference site. The area has a huge variety of natural, cultural, recreational, and culinary opportunities, one conference attendees will be sure to enjoy. Santa Fe is connected by high-speed Rail Runner train, and is reached in less than 30 minutes, and also offers an outstanding variety of visitor options. Our local affairs committee will ensure that this conference is definitely one of the best WHA has ever had. We look forward to meeting you there!

Our two conference themes in 2012 will be "Frontiers in World History" and 
"Indigenous Peoples in World History.

Freemantle Symposium dates April 3-5, 2013

The WHA is delighted to announce that it will hold a symposium
at Notre Dame University, Freemantle, Australia from April 3-5, 2013.

The theme of the conference will be:

Empire: Faith and Conflict

The University of Notre Dame is in the historic West End precinct of Fremantle (about 30 minutes from Perth by car or train. It is positioned on the Indian Ocean, between Fishing Boat Harbour and the Fremantle Port. It's a rich historical site, being also the first frontier of empire and colonisation in New Holland (Western Australia). It was on the beach adjacent to the University that the British landed their first settlement in 1829. The University and its precinct is a wonderful destination for conferences. There's a 4 star hotel within 500 metres, as well as several boutique hotels and b&b's near by. It's in a rich food and cultural precinct, with plenty of great entertainment. Wonderful historical sites and historical walking trails abound. For more information on the town and area, please see the following links.
