The African American Intellectual History Society (AAIHS) invites proposals for its 11th annual conference, scheduled for March 27-28, 2026 in Pittsburgh, PA. Through the theme, “Preserving Histories and Legacies in the 21st Century,” AAIHS encourages conference participants to reflect on how we have historicized African and African-descended peoples from slavery to the present and how we might do so still. We hope this invitation prompts scholars, activists, artists, curators, archivists, and other intellectuals to interrogate notions of change; continuity; and progress–all key elements of historical inquiry. As always, we are eager to engage these questions through multiple research fields, methods, and methodologies. A more detailed CFP is available here:
