Pandem-Mondus

Begun in response to the 2020 pandemic, our Pandem-Mondus blog offers readers an array of information on topics in World History and happenings at the World History Association. 

The WHA’s awards and scholarships provide both financial support and recognition to world historians doing innovative work at all stages of their careers. Our 2020 research awards exemplify the breadth of intellectual inquiry in world history.

Angela Lee, Eric Beckman and Bram Hubbell restructured the workshop they had planned for the WHA’s 2020 annual meeting, adapting it to our new Zoom reality.

Our 2020 annual meeting is cancelled. Although the WHA staff and officers are very, very disappointed not to see all of you in person this June, we prioritize your health and safety above all other considerations.
