Call for Papers: Australian Historical Association 2019 Conference

The Australian Historical Association invites proposals for its 2019 Conference, “Local Communities, Global Networks,” which will take place July 8-12, 2019 at the University of Southern Queensland, Toowoomba.

In particular, the program committee is interested in proposals that address the following questions: How have the local and the global intersected, inspired and transformed experiences within and from Australia’s history? How do the histories of Indigenous, imperial, migrant and the myriad of other communities and networks inform, contest and shape knowledge about Australia today? The conference theme speaks to the centrality of History for engaging with community and family networks. Constructing livelihoods within an empire and a nation that have had a global reach, local communities have responded in diverse ways. The varieties of historical enquiry into this past enrich our understanding of Australian and world history.

They also welcome paper and panel proposals on any geographical area, time period, or field of history, on the conference theme “Local Communities, Global Networks.”

Proposals are due February, 28, 2019.
