2005 WHA Conference Announcement

The WHA is delighted to announce that its 2005 conference will be held at Al Akhawayn University in Ifrane, Morocco. The conference’s dual themes, “The Mediterranean in World History” and “Africa in World History,” reflect Morocco’s special geographic and cultural position in world history. To submit a panel or paper proposal, please visit http://www.thewha.org. Proposals are due by February 1, 2005, to allow time for notification and travel planning.
Located in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains, Ifrane is about 100 kilometers (62 miles) from the historic walled city of Fez. Al Akhawayn is an English-speaking university. Check it out at http://www.aui.ma/.

Plans are underway for a university-sponsored reception in traditional Moroccan desert tents, as well as a possible post-conference tour of Morocco. Roundtrip ground transportation between the airport at Casablanca and Ifrane will be available for a reasonable fee. Details regarding accommodations and registration will be posted shortly on the WHA website at http://www.thewha.org
