Conversations with AHA Presidents
To assist us to reflect upon the history—and the historiography—of the twentieth
century, the Program Committee invited all living Presidents of the Association to participate in the Annual Meeting. We are pleased
and honored that six Presidents accepted our invitations to appear in special noon-hour sessions, “Conversations with AHA
Presidents.”
The committee envisions these meetings as informal gatherings in which the Presidents will respond to
questions and comments of professional colleagues and graduate students. We assume that the main topics of discussion will be the
state of scholarship in their field and in the discipline, the experiences of their careers, and the prospects for the
profession.
