Photos from the 2018 Annual Meeting

In 2018, the ASLH returned for the first time since 1995 to Houston, the most ethnically diverse metropolitan area in the United States. The meeting, which was held at the Hilton-Américas from November 8, 2018 to November 11, 2018, showcased a population center expected to become the nation’s third-largest city by 2025 and advanced ASLH’s further internationalization by providing a first-class opening for the discussion of legal history scholarship concerning Mexico and Latin America generally.

The meeting was sponsored by the University of Houston Law Center and the University of Houston.

The Plenary Lecture was delivered by Ariela Gross of the University of Southern California Law School and Alejandro de la Fuente of Harvard Law School.
