The AHA is for all historians, not just those whose research focus is Australian topics.
In offering a paper, please consider the conference theme of (Re)Viewing History and the sub-themes which are listed on the home page. Your paper should explore, engage with and/or challenge the themes and sub-themes. As the conference falls within NAIDOC week, it is hoped that some papers will address Indigenous history within the context of (Re)Viewing History.
All presenters are required to be members of the AHA which is the premier national organisation of historians, academics, professionals and others, working in all fields of history. The organization holds annual conferences and offers a number of prestigious prizes and awards. The AHA offers a dynamic flow of information, images and commentary to its members and the public. Membership also provides access to the prestigious hard copy and electronic journal History Australia. Your membership helps to enable this conference series and will benefit you and the discipline of History in Australia.
You can lodge your submission here. Submissions close 31 March 2010.
The AHA is seeking submissions of
individual papers (20 minute presentation plus 10 minutes for questions)
panels of three related papers preferably with a nominated chair
‘1000 words in a picture’ - short papers (10 minute presentation time plus 5 minutes for questions) that interpret an image, artefact or place as an historical document.
Network for Research in Women’s History
The relationship between indigenous women and missions is an exciting emerging field of feminist studies. As social microcosms of colonial and cross-cultural relations missions allow for a close and critical reading of the establishment, maintenance and subversion of colonial power. Professor Pat Grimshaw will be the plenary speaker for this stream.
The Network for Research on Women’s History invites papers which provide new perspectives on the place of gender in these historical transformations. Possible themes may include:
- Gendered power hierarchies on missions
- Remaking of indigenous femininities and masculinities in Christian discourse and practice
- Indigenous women’s responses to mission regimes
- Cross-cultural encounters of women under colonial conditions
- Subversion and resistance
- Methodological issues of researching indigenous women in colonial and mission archives
Please lodge single paper submissions or for thematic sessions of three papers here. Submissions close 31 March 2010. All presenters are required to be members of the AHA.
Religious History Society
As has been its practice since it foundation in 1998 the Religious History Society will be sponsoring the visit of Professor Andrew Porter to deliver a plenary address for this stream within the biennial Australian Historical Association Conference. The conference will provide the occasion for a general meeting of the Society and discussion of its future direction. Please contact Associate Professor Rowan Strong, R.Strong@murdoch.edu.au for further information.
The Society welcomes submissions on all aspects of religious history. Papers on colonial religion — which will be the subject of the keynote address — are particularly welcome. The issues which it is hoped to address in relation to colonial religion include: the nature, shape, and concerns of settler religion; contrasts, continuities, and changes between metropolitan and settler religion; indigenous religious encounters; denominational colonial missions; the churches’ relations with colonial and/or metropolitan governments; churches as agents or critics of empire; theologies of mission, settlement, empire; and gender and colonial religion.
A special issue of the Journal of Religious History is planned around the conference theme of Colonial Encounters, which will include the keynote paper from Professor Andrew Porter, and others after being accepted by the usual refereed process.
Please lodge your submission here. Submissions close 31 March 2010.
The format of papers will be: 20 minute presentation plus 10 minutes for questions. All presenters are required to be members of the AHA.
Australian Society for Sports History
Since its formation in 1983, the Australian Society for Sports History (ASSH) has grown to be one of the largest sports history organisations internationally with members from Australia, New Zealand and around the world. ASSH is proud to once again offer a stream of sports historical papers within the AHA Conference. ASSH encourages submissions that examine the overarching conference theme of "(Re)Viewing History and as the conference is being held within NAIDOC week, we would also welcome papers that address sports historical topics within an Indigenous context. Papers on alternative sports history topics are also encouraged.
Please note that during the conference, the ASSH Annual General and Executive Meetings will be held and members are encouraged to attend. For more information about the Society and the ASSH Stream at the AHA, please visit the ASSH website http://www.sporthistory.org
