History 1400-2004

September 30th, 2004

The History Department of the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) and 
the Transatlantic History Student Organization (THSO) are sponsoring the 
Fifth Annual Graduate Student Workshop on Transatlantic History. Since 
1999 this workshop has provided a venue to discuss the comparative and 
transnational/ transcultural character of the interrelations and 
interactions between and among the peoples of the Atlantic World.

> From Africa's shores to the American West, from South America's 

rainforests to the European Bosporus, the Atlantic World has been the 
site of social, cultural, economic and political encounters that have 
transformed people and places. The purpose of UTA's interdisciplinary 
workshop is to bring together graduate students to explore the 
transatlantic interrelations and interchanges over the last five centuries.

Graduate students from history and other disciplines are invited to 
submit a 300-word abstract and abbreviated curriculum vitae by *May 31, 
2004*. Authors of papers accepted for a 20-minute presentation will be 
notified by June 30, 2004. A limited number of travel funds for 
participants coming to the workshop will be provided by THSO. Please 
email your abstract to one of the contacts below.

Note: Be sure to include your email and regular mailing address to 
ensure that you can be reached during the summer of 2004.
