Beijing, 2011

Capital Normal University's Global History Center will host the Twentieth Annual Conference on its Beijing campus, 7-11 July 2011, in its state-of-the-art International Cultural Plaza. The main theme will be “China in World History”; the secondary theme will be "World History from the Center and the Periphery."
Conferees will be housed in the Plaza’s hotel at exceedingly reasonable rates (but there is a nearby Western, five-star hotel for those who want luxury and a four-star business hotel next to the Plaza), and all sessions will be held in the adjoining conference building.

Details regarding the 2011 conference will be posted on the WHA website during the Summer of 2010.
