Every year Historians for Peace and Democracy, in partnership with Radical History Review, organizes our own mini-conference at the AHA. As an affiliate society, our panels are listed in the program and very well-attended [see the 2025 listing].
If you would like to submit a panel or roundtable for next year’s Annual Meeting, January 8-11 in Chicago, please fill out this form, including an abstract and title for your panel, plus titles and abstracts for individual talks, contact information for all speakers, etc.
Our deadline has been extended to April 30, so we can submit the full conference listing to the AHA for the program by May 31. We seek sessions dealing with all periods and places in history, and are especially interested in panels addressing (and including) K-12 teachers. We are open to co-sponsoring panels submitted to the AHA Program Committee, whether or not they have been accepted.
HPAD IPWG member Pam Murray is putting together a panel:
Call for Participants in Round Table on “Historians as Activists: the Case of Palestine Solidarity” for the 139th annual meeting of the American Historical Association in Chicago, Jan. 8-11, 2026.
The roundtable will bring together historians of diverse backgrounds to reflect on their involvement in local, regional, national or international Palestine solidarity movements. Key questions to be addressed include: how have you used your knowledge and skills as an historian to contribute to a solidarity movement? How have you collaborated with other (non-historian) activists, bridging the proverbial divide between “town & gown”? To what extent has history itself, e.g. peace or anti-war movements of the past, been a source of inspiration?
This roundtable will form part of a set of sessions to be organized jointly by Historians for Peace & Democracy, an AHA affiliate, and Radical History Review. If you wish to participate, please contact Pamela Murray as soon as possible, by or before April 30, the new deadline for panel proposals.
