The WMQ-EMSI is inviting papers for its next workshop Early America before 1700, to be held at the Huntington Library 30-31 January 2026. Was there a global early America? Atlantic approaches to early America have become commonplace, as have perspectives rooted in ideas about “vast” early America, yet little scholarship has sought to situate early America in a global context. Is such a context useful? What might it illuminate about the history of early America before 1700? This WMQ-EMSI Workshop invites scholars in history and related disciplines to explore these questions from a diverse array of methodological and geographic perspectives. Participants will attend a two-day meeting at the Huntington Library (January 30-31, 2026) to discuss a pre-circulated, unpublished chapter-length portion of their current work in progress along with the work of other participants. Proposals for workshop presentations should include a two-page c.v. and two brief abstracts (250 words each): the first describing the article or chapter draft the applicant seeks to present at the workshop, and the second discussing the scope of the applicant’s larger research project. The organizers especially encourage proposals from mid-career scholars who are working on their second (or subsequent) major project. Graduate students are ineligible. Deadline: September 15, 2025.

We invite proposals for the international conference titled Past and Present Impact of Climate Change in Southeast Asia, to be held at Thammasat University in Bangkok on July 2–3, 2026. The conference will explore the dynamic interplay between climate change and human societies in Southeast Asia, from the start of the Common Era to the present day. As Southeast Asia faces the growing impacts of climate change, this conference aims to investigate both historical and contemporary strategies of adaptation and mitigation. The concept of societal collapse, often invoked in historical narratives, risks oversimplifying the diverse and complex processes that shape societal responses to environmental pressure. The conference welcomes papers that address a wide range of themes, including (but not limited to): the impact of climate variability and change on food systems; historical and modern coping strategies; institutional resilience and failure; environmental stress and social inequality; and the broader economic, cultural, and political consequences of climate change in Southeast Asia. We aim to bring together scholars from a wide range of disciplines, including history, archaeology, anthropology, historical geography, environmental science, paleoclimatology, and related fields. The conference will feature keynote lectures by: Sébastien Guillet (University of Geneva), Heli Huhtamaa (University of Bern), Suthirat Kittipongvises (Chulalongkorn University), Sarah Klassen (University of Toronto), Dan Penny (University of Sydney), Fiona Williamson (Singapore Management University). We invite interested scholars to submit a paper proposal consisting of a title and an abstract of up to 3000 characters by January 5, 2026. Applicants will be notified of the outcome by the end of that month. All accepted speakers will be asked to submit a draft version of their paper by June 1, 2026. Please submit your title and abstract via this link to Google Forms: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfkFZfC5qi-y00zVjNvZ4AjUDUwClPs04DPnql5ANaiM8vBCw/viewform Selected contributions will be included in a peer-reviewed collected volume, alongside additional invited papers. The conference will be held in person, and all presentations must be delivered in English. Organizers: Panarat Anamwathana (Thammasat University), Siwaree Attamana (Thammasat University), Paul Erdkamp (Vrije Universiteit Brussel), Pipad Krajaejun (Thammasat University)
