Presidential Sessions
Every year the AHA president has the privilege of organizing a series of presidential sessions at the annual meeting. She is, for this purpose, given carte blanche. For the 2015 meeting, I’ve organized two distinct groups of sessions: one addresses a broad topic that connects questions of historical method with current trends of history writing; another concerns the institutions, formal and informal, that sustain our scholarly life or extend it outside the academy. By Jan Goldstein, 2014 AHA President
