The 48th annual meeting of the French Colonial Historical Society (FCHS) will take place May 23-25, 2024 in Charlottesville at the University of Virginia.
Proposals on any topic related to French colonial history and its legacies are welcome. We especially invite papers related to this year’s theme, “The Intimacies of Empire,” which reflects on the ways that the domains of the intimate and relationships of intimacy shaped the workings of colonial power and its consequences across the French empire and Francophone worlds.
