Via H-Law, we have the following
announcement:
The Midwest World History Association is happy to announce a call for
paper, poster, panel, roundtable, and workshop proposals for its annual
conference to be held at Governors State University in University Park,
Illinois, on September 26th and 27th 2014. The conference theme of
“Rights” in World History is intended to connect the 50th anniversary of
the 1964 Civil Rights Act with other struggles to conceptualize, claim,
and defend the “rights” of individuals and groups in different
societies and at different times.
The keynote will be given by award-winning journalist, activist, and
historian Juan Gonzales. Robert Smith of UW-Milwaukee will offer a
half-day workshop for teachers on The Civil Rights Movement in
Transnational Context.
Please email a 250-word abstract and a short curriculum vitae via to
nat.godley@alverno.edu no later than APRIL 30th, 2014. Where a complete
panel is proposed, the convener should also include a 250 word abstract
of the panel theme.
