Dear Colleagues,
I am reaching out to anyone interested in forming a panel for the 2024 American Society for Ethnohistory conference to be held in Fargo, ND between September 18-22, 2024. This year’s theme is the following:
A representative from the National Endowment for the Humanities will be attending the OAH’s 2024 Conference on American History in New Orleans. Senior Program Officer Geoff Burrows of the NEH Division of Research will be available for a limited number of individual appointments on Friday, April 12, 2024, and Saturday, April 13, 2024, to talk about NEH grant opportunities and your individual or institutional project(s). Appointments will be made on a first-come, first-served basis.
The Americas Vault Associate will aid the Journal in developing a curated guide to a historiographical issue based on articles from the back issues of the journal. During the course of an academic year, The Americas Vault Associate will write an original essay that engages a thematic cluster of articles and research notes published over the years in The Americas journal along with relevant supplemental online digital primary sources.
