The World History Association is pleased to invite individual paper or organized panel proposals for its 27th Annual Conference, a joint meeting with the Midwest World History Association to be held in Milwaukee, 21–23 June 2018. The conference provides an ideal opportunity to interact with an international community of world history scholars, teachers, and students. Proposals for panels, workshops, roundtables, and individual papers are welcome on topics related to the conference themes—the Anthropocene and Material Culture—or on other topics of general interest to world historians. The WHA promotes interdisciplinary conversations about scholarship and teaching, so work in anthropology, political science, literature, art, the natural sciences, and other fields is welcomed and encouraged.

Proposals may take several forms:
– ​organized panels of ​(​generally​)​ three panelists​ and​ one chair, ​plus, optionally, one discussant;
– round tables with four to six participants, which involve five-minute opening statements from participants and then conversational dialogue with the audience​;​
– workshops on specific teaching or research techniques or practices​;​
– individual papers (15–20 minutes in length); or
– meet-the–author sessions, in which the authors of recently-published books discuss their approaches and methods and engage in discussion.

Organized ​sessions—full​ ​panels, round tables, and workshops—receive priority in the program and receive earlier notification of acceptance.​ Individual papers, if accepted, will be arranged into suitable panels by the​ ​ Program Committee, but these will receive later notice​ ​ of acceptance.

Papers should be presented in​ ​English. A/V requests will be honored as much as possible, but A/V is always subject to failure, so​ handouts of essential information are always welcome.

Papers may be submitted via the proposal portal at http://www.thewha.org/proposal-submission/.
