A Reunion and Conference of the World History Center
June 9-10, 2002
World History Center
Northeastern University (Senate Chambers, Curry
Student Center)
This conference is to assemble the students and graduates associated with the World History Center. The research agenda is to gather and review their research, and to move it toward publication — three papers will be presented in each of six sessions, with comments by leading world historians. The social agenda is to gather together participants in the program, to revisit their activities and accomplishments from 1994 to the present — lunches, receptions, and a banquet will provide the occasion for reminiscence and launching new projects.
Registration fee: $50. See next
