We are happy to announce that pre-registration for the ASLH meeting in Detroit is now open!
If you navigate to the conference page, you will be able to register for the conference. Registration is refundable until October 15, so we encourage you to register early. This helps the Society in our planning. A rebate from the City of Detroit has allowed the ASLH to offer a slight reduction to the cost of registration this year.
We encourage attendees to stay at the conference hotel and to make hotel reservations early. As is explained in the conference FAQs, the ASLH contracts for a set number of rooms at the negotiated rate. Once those rooms are taken - and this can happen well before the conference registration deadline - attendees must make other arrangements, either at the conference hotel at a higher room rate or elsewhere.
Our local arrangements committee has also added a guide to the city, including cultural icons, restaurants, and practical tips on transportation.
We are also excited to inform you about two pre-conference events.
- Felicia Kornbluh and Marie-Amelie George are hosting a workshop on "Queer Legal History." This event is open to all who wish to attend. For more information, please contact Felicia Kornbluh.
- Noah Rosenblum, Andrea Katz, and Maggie Blackhawk are hosting a workshop called "Imperial Administration: Law, Colonialism, and the Growth of the U.S. Administrative State." Parts of this workshop will be open to those who wish to attend. Further information will be printed in the program. For more information, please contact Noah Rosenblum.
We also gently remind you that the deadline to apply for ASLH prizes and fellowships is coming on June 1. Projects and Proposals funding will be due on September 1, 2025.
Finally, we are pleased to announce that the ASLH 2026 meeting will be held November 12-14 at the Banff Center for Arts and Creativity in Alberta, Canada!
We look forward to seeing you in Detroit.
