Calling a New England Dept Chair for an AHA2013 Panel

CFP, conferences

We thought we’d pass along this opportunity, in case any of our members fit the bill and want to participate. It comes from our colleague Christy Snider at Berry College: I’m organizing a roundtable for the 2013 AHA meeting in New Orleans tentatively titled: “Challenges Facing History Departments in the Twenty-First Century: Perspectives from Department Chairs.” I have 3-4 chairs lined up from a variety of institutions (a small liberal arts college in the South, a national public university, a top 10 regional private university…

We began the post-lunch session a wee bit early so it could end in time to get people home before the snowstorm (! usually not part of our planning for the October meeting, but… it is New England, after all). We appreciate the gracious hospitality of our Emmanuel College host team. Thanks to everyone who gave papers,…
