Call for Proposals:
Research Agenda Symposium, November 2006
"Research in World History: Connections and Globalizations"

The World History Network and the World History Association seek
proposals for participation in a Research Agenda Symposium (John Hancock
Conference Center, Boston, November 10-12, 2006). Up to 40 participants
worldwide will be selected for a meeting intended to develop a consensus
statement on priorities in world-historical research, with a focus on
the theme of "Research in World History: Connections and Globalizations."

Conference fee of $250 includes conference materials, meals, and
receptions. Travel costs may be covered, depending on availability of
funding, especially for participants from outside the U.S. Applicants
should submit, by 1 June 2006, a statement of up to 1000 words proposing
priorities in world-historical research, and a curriculum vitae of up to
two pages. The conference committee will select up to 40 participants,
based on the strength and interest of initial proposals, but also with
attention to balance by national origin, gender, age, and disciplinary
focus.

Details are available from the World History Network,
www.worldhistorynetwork.org.

Invitations will be issued to selected participants by 30 June 2006.
