Theme of the 2014 Conference: Connecting Disciplines
We welcome papers and panels on the history of the humanities that focus on any period or region. The theme of the 2014 conference will be Connecting Disciplines, with a special interest in comparing methods and patterns across disciplines — both within and between regions (e.g. China and Europe).
