The 2012 Annual WHA Conference will be in Albuquerque, New Mexico, from June 27 to June 30, 2012. We are excited to be hosted for the first time by a public school
district--Albuquerque Public Schools, with the venue at Albuquerque
High School, the oldest public high school in New Mexico. While it
may be the oldest, it is also state of the art, with full A/V
support and high-speed wireless in all session rooms, hundreds of
computers available to us, state-of-the-art lecture halls with
excellent sound and light equipment, and a wonderful space for
Exhibitors. Albuquerque is also a fantastic city with its charming
Old Town, the Sandia Mountains as a backdrop to the city, a mild
climate, the National Hispanic Cultural Center, and the Indian
Pueblo Cultural Center all within a few minutes drive of the
conference site. The area has a huge variety of natural, cultural,
recreational, and culinary opportunities, one conference attendees will be
sure to enjoy. Santa Fe is connected by high-speed Rail Runner
train, and is reached in less than 30 minutes, and also offers an
outstanding variety of visitor options. Our local affairs
committee will ensure that this conference is definitely one of the
best WHA has ever had. We look forward to meeting you there!
Our two conference themes in 2012 will be "Frontiers in World History" and
"Indigenous Peoples in World History.
The WHA is pleased to announce the Keynote presenters for this summer's 21st annual WHA conference in ABQ.
Glenabah Martinez, an assistant professor in the University of New Mexico College of Education, will present a keynote address on the theme of "Indigenous Peoples in World History."
David Dorado Romo, Ph.D. student in Borderlands History (Graduation Year: 2013), has already published a seminal work, Ringside Seat to a Revolution: An Underground Cultural History of El Paso and Juarez, 1893-1923, which is used extensively in the classroom. Mr. Romo will be presenting the second keynote address related to the theme of "Frontiers and Borders in World History."
