Although primarily a European conflict, its impact was global and still resonates throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, affecting political and economic relationships, the humanities, social sciences, and the arts.

We invite proposals for individual and panel presentations that may address but are not limited to the following topics: Cultural memory Empire and colonialism Nationalism and transnationalism Aboriginals and the war Women and the war The home front Global contexts Politics Propaganda Diplomacy Medical and psychological responses Economic responses and models Literary representations (fiction, poetry, graphic novels, etc.) Visual representations (painting, photography, film, etc.) All abstracts for proposed presentations should be submitted to http://www.humber.ca/liberalarts-ifoa by April 7, 2014.
