Annual Meeting

The 2024 Annual Meeting will be held in Chicago, Illinois from January 4-7. We are reviewing the survey results from the 2023 hybrid meeting and evaluating in person and virtual participation options at the 2024 annual meeting. However, the detailed structure and format of the conference, along with registration categories and rates, are still under consideration. Updated information will be posted as it becomes available.

2024 Call For Papers

For the 2024 Annual Meeting, the Program Committee invites proposals for organized sessions and open submissions that address the theme of “Movement, Mobility, and Displacement,regarding people, things, and / or ideas. We especially encourage comparative sessions that bring together perspectives from different regions and periods, as well as those that engage with contemporary issues such as climate change, threats to cultural identity and / or heritage, military conflict, disease, and natural disasters.”  We also welcome sessions restricted to a specific region or time-period and hope that these will continue to be prominently represented in the meeting program.
