SHAFR 2006 Annual MeetingThe web-site for the 2006 meeting has been deactivated but is being preserved here for archival purposes.
The 2006 Annual Meeting will be held in Lawrence, Kansas June 23-25, 2006 One of the attractions of having the 2006 SHAFR conference in Lawrence, Kansas is that the Truman and Eisenhower presidential libraries are both relatively close. For scholars who have never had a chance to visit one or both of these major research centers, or for those who want to do some quick research, the 2006 conference offers a handy opportunity. SHAFR has organized a van trip to the Truman library, leaving from Lawrence on Friday morning the 23rd, and a trip to the Eisenhower library, leaving Lawrence on Monday morning the 26th. The staffs at the Truman and Eisenhower libraries have graciously agreed to offer some voluntary orientation sessions for visitors. It is necessary to sign up in advance for these trips. There is a nominal charge for the van. For information, click here. As you can see from the program, we have lined up some very exciting sessions. For instance, the first plenary panel, scheduled for Friday 7:00-9:00 pm, features Walter LaFeber and Emily Rosenberg speaking on the historical roots of post-9/11 foreign policy. Michael Hunt and Robert Schulzinger will comment, and Arnold Offner will chair the panel. A second plenary, scheduled for Sunday 4-6 pm, is entitled “Doing International History Across the Scholarly Generations,” and it features Mark Bradley, Carolyn Eisenberg, Robert McMahon, and Jeremi Suri. At the Saturday luncheon, 2006 SHAFR president Randall Woods will deliver his presidential address, entitled “Politics and Idealism: Lyndon B. Johnson and International Affairs.” Because of a family medical situation, Mahmood Mamdani of Columbia has had to cancel his appearance as the Sunday luncheon speaker. We regret not being able to hear Mamdani. We are very pleased that the eminent expert and widely quoted blogger on the Middle East, Juan Cole of the University of Michigan, has agreed to speak at the Sunday luncheon. Juan Cole’s talk is entitled “American-Shiite Relations in Post-Baath Iraq.” Randall Woods will introduce Cole. RegistrationOnline registration is no longer available. You may register on-site with either cash or check. We will be unable to accept credit cards during on-site registration.
