The relentless thrust of globalization and the unexpected termination of
the Cold War have increased rather than reduced global tensions. These
developments force us to reconsider some themes once thought to be
exhausted. Migrations, the formation of diaspora communities, and the
resurgence of ethnicities, both old and new, have transformed
nationalisms and conventional conceptions of the nation-state. With such
considerations in mind, the Historical Society is pleased to announce
that the organizing theme for its 6th conference, scheduled for early
June 2008, will be “Migration, Diaspora, Ethnicity, and Nationalism in
History.” The conference will be held in Baltimore, Maryland. We
envision a meeting in which historians across fields come together to
deepen and enrich the state of knowledge about these vital concerns.

Franklin W. Knight, the Leonard and Helen R. Stulman Professor of
History at Johns Hopkins University, will chair the 2008 conference
program committee.
