ISTANBUL SYMPOSIUM: Some Suggested Panel and Paper Topics
As the 1 October deadline nears for proposals for the symposium
?Byzantine and Ottoman Civilizations in World History? to be held in
Istanbul, 21-24 October 2010, the program committee thought it
appropriate to suggest some panel and/or paper topics for persons
still wondering whether or not to offer a proposal. This list of
suggestions represents only a small fraction of possible topics, but
it might help some colleagues to understand better what the organizers
mean by ?world history?. Persons who still might be unclear whether or
not a particular topic is ?world historical? should consult the
panel/paper proposal form, a link to which can be found on the top of
the World History Association?s home page at www.thewha.org. There
they will find a short definition of world history. All proposals, by
the way, should be submitted electronically and on this form to the
WHA. Simply download it, fill it out, and e-mail the file to
thewha@hawaii. edu with the subject heading ?Istanbul Symposium
