History for the Twenty-First Century: The 114th Annual Meeting of the American Historical Association
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 30 June 2001
Abstract
The novelty of the new millennium proved too tempting for most to pass without offering some reflections on the waning century or speculations for the future, and the 114th annual meeting of the American Historical Association (AHA) was no exception. The tone was set early by the announced theme of the conference (“History for the Twenty-First Century: Continuity and Change”) and its opening panel, which promised to consign the twentieth century to history. There were also sessions on “Scholarly Publishing in the Twenty-First Century” and “Interviewing in the Job Market in the New Millennium.” By my count there were no less than eight panels at the conference that adopted an explicitly millennial theme. Not to be outdone, labor historians added their musings with a roundtable entitled “Labor History at the Millennium: International Capitalism and the Comparative Historical Dimension.”
