2010 Conference Announced & Call for Proposals
Borderlands: Regional Encounters and Forgotten HistoriesSeptember 24-25, 2010 Doubletree Hotel & Conference Center, Springfield, MO Juliana Barr, Professor of History, University of Florida Bob Bain, Professor of History, University of Michigan Borderlands history investigates the history of those regions in the world where competing empires, colonial enterprises, or nations met one another. As a result, scholars often look to the borderlands to find unusual individuals and multicultural communities who are otherwise invisible to researchers. In recent years, historians of Native America have turned to the borderlands to showcase Native Americans as central, rather than peripheral, actors in the history of the Americas. The Missouri Council for History Education invites conference attendees to redraw maps, reconsider traditional narratives, and recoup forgotten histories of the Americas and elsewhere in the world as we visit the borderlands in history. Please mark your calendar to save this date!
