The 2010 Conference of the World History Association of Texas will focus on historical and interdisciplinary approaches to understanding the people, events and ideas influential in globalization. Conference organizers welcome proposals that connect world history teaching and research. Possible topics could include, but are not limited to:

- The digital age, social networking sites, and the use of information and communication technologies in furthering or resisting political and economic structures
- Shifts in modes of production, consumption, and entertainment
- Prince Shotoku, B.R. Ambedkar, Ho Chí Minh, Nelson Mandela, Ayatullah Ruhollah Khomeini, and Margaret Thatcher
- The global impact of religions, ideologies, ethical constructs, trade, commerce and economic theory and practice
- Global themes in the humanities and social sciences
- Teaching World History

The Conference Organizing Committee welcomes proposals on any subject, period or area of globalization from faculty, graduate students, and independent scholars. Proposals may include individual papers, collaborative projects or roundtable discussions of a topic or theme connected to world history. The Conference will make a second call in October for a juried panel of undergraduate papers.

Proposals for complete panels or roundtables of three or four presenters are encouraged. The panels and roundtables should be 1½ hours in length. Include your name, organization or institution, address, home and work, phone and fax numbers, email address, working title of paper or presentation, and a brief description of the content.
