Special Events and
Information
Call for Papers:

Istanbul Sehir University and the World

the world-historical significance of Byzantine and Ottoman
civilizations, 330-1922. The symposium will be held in
Istanbul on 21-24 October 2010. Periodic informational updates will appear the World History
Association's Web site beginning September 2009.
From the South Asia Caucus at the AHA...
You may recall the information
Sanjay Joshi sent out to H-Asia last year about the inauguration of the
South Asia Caucus at the American Historical Association. Our intent is
make South Asian history more of a presence at the AHA by organizing
regular South Asian events at the annual meetings, and to become a locus
where scholars of South Asia regardless of discipline can meet to
discuss ideas about the
field of South Asian historical studies, especially in a comparative and
global context.
After a successful first gathering, we have moved toward formalizing the
organization somewhat. On Saturday, January 3rd, the SAC held its second
annual business meeting. We discussed and ratified unanimously a
mission statement and bylaws for our organization, in the process
renaming the SAC the Society for Advancing the History of South Asia (SAHSA),
the title by which we will henceforth be known. On Friday, January 2,
David Ludden led a fruitful roundtable discussion on the state of the
field. Thanks to David for all of his efforts.
Many thanks to all those who participated and to everyone who has
supported the SAC, now SAHSA, since its inception in early 2008.
However, we need to keep up the momentum built up over the last two
years. I would like to use this forum to our colleagues to submit
proposals for the 2010 AHA meeting at San Diego. The conference theme
for the 2010 meeting is particularly suited to the interests of many
Asianists : Oceans, Islands, Continents. SAHSA as well as the AHA would
especially welcome comparative panels with other parts of Asia.
Membership to SAHSA remains open, and at least for the present, free. If
you, or anyone else you know, would like to be added to our membership,
please have them contact me. With budgetary situations in all
institutions being what they are, I would especially urge colleagues
living in the west coast of the United States to join SAHSA.
