H-PAD at the AHA Annual Meeting in 2025

Since 2020, Historians for Peace and Democracy has partnered with Radical History Review to run a mini-conference within the AHA Annual Meeting. We’ll be doing the same again this coming January 3-6 in New York City.

See below for our full program. Session titles are hyperlinked to the main page of the AHA website.

This year H-PAD members will also be advocating that the AHA pass a resolution condemning US support for the wanton destruction of Palestinian education and the killing of educators and students in Gaza. For more information see our page on scholasticide here.
