Deadlines, deadlines, deadlines

Eager to attend the WHA annual conference in Korea but in need of some support?  Consider applying for our William H. McNeill teacher scholarship, our World Scholar travel fund support, and/or our conference fee waivers.  If you are a K-14 educator, our partners at OER are underwriting 40 free registrations at the conference.   Deadlines are upon us; most of these applications are due April 1.   

Be recognized for your scholarship.   Whether it's a paper that you've written, a dissertation you've just submitted, a book you've published, or an article in World History Connected, we are eager for you to apply to be considered for one of our prizes.   Most deadlines are this spring; recipients are announced at the annual conference in late June.

Making our voices heard

We are an organization focused on global history both past and present.   Threats to education--in terms of both access and curricula--concern us.   We take positions.   We use our collective voices, at the urging of members and after democratic voting by our members, to speak out on issues that matter, whether most recently with respect to scholasticide in Gaza or limits to world history instruction in the state of Texas.
