Across Frontiers Beyond Borders: Transatlantic History 1400-2004

September 30th, 2004

The History Department of the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA)
and the Transatlantic History Student Organization (THSO) are
sponsoring the Fifth Annual Graduate Student Workshop on
Transatlantic History. Since 1999 this workshop has provided a venue
to discuss the comparative and transnational/ transcultural character
of the interrelations and interactions between and among the peoples
of the Atlantic World.

From Africa's shores to the American West, from South America's
rainforests to the European Bosporus, the Atlantic World has been the
site of social, cultural, economic and political encounters that have
transformed people and places. The purpose of UTA's
interdisciplinary workshop is to bring together graduate students to
explore the transatlantic interrelations and interchanges over the
last five centuries.

Graduate students from history and other disciplines are invited to
submit a 300-word abstract and abbreviated curriculum vitae by May
31, 2004. Authors of papers accepted for a 20-minute presentation
will be notified by June 30, 2004. A limited number of travel funds
for participants coming to the workshop will be provided by THSO.



Note: Be sure to include your email and regular mailing address to
ensure that you can be reached during the summer of 2004.
