Hello everyone! I introduced a unit on indigenous peoples in the Indo-Pacific into my world history curriculum last school year, but I felt that it could be much better. Is anyone interested in collaborating, or if you've covered this topic in your own classes, sharing some of your ideas? Thanking you all in advance for your time and consideration!

The World History Association (WHA) will hold its 29th Annual Conference, UTAH 2020, from June 25 – 27, 2020. The conference theme will be "Sustainability & Preservation: Local + Regional + Global," although submissions on other historical themes are also welcome. We will be located in the Foothills District of Salt Lake City, where multiple cultural attractions, museums and the University of Utah converge. This location, in the valley of the Wasatch Mountains, affords registrants outdoor recreational options and beautiful views.
At this time, the Call for Papers (CFPs) is open and submissions due by December 16, 2019. General information about the CFPs and the submission forms can be found on the WHA Homepage (www.thewha.org).
