AHA Announces Last-Minute Sessions Timed to News Events

For the first time, the AHA annual meeting will include a set of late-breaking sessions, submitted just months before the meeting to allow historians to respond to current events. Encompassing a wide range of historical perspectives on contemporary issues, these sessions join others throughout the meeting to show the relevance of history and historical thinking to public culture and public policy. We hope you enjoy!
