VIRTUAL CONFERENCE JUNE 17-20 20 21 SOCIETY FOR HISTORIANS OF AMERICAN FOREIGN RELATIONS WHAT TO EXPECT

This year’s annual meeting will be organized around eighteen themes, each framed by a keyword round- table chaired and organized by a member of the program committee.

The afternoon panels will be linked thematically and bookended by a lunch and dinner event, and authors will have a chance to celebrate and share new books in the exhibit hall.

The conference will run on Eastern Daylight Time, but registrants will have an opportunity to access the recordings of the sessions for a short time afterward, so attendees in other time zones will not miss any programming.
