The International History and Politics (IHAP) division encourages all paper, panel, roundtable, and poster-session proposals that lie at the intersection of history and international politics. The conference theme of categories and global inequalities offers a fertile field for historical analysis--of the international sources and nature of categories and identities, of the international sources and consequences of global inequalities, and of the intersection between them. IHAP especially encourages proposals on such themes. At the same time, IHAP also welcomes proposals on other issues of international history and politics. As a division with an explicitly interdisciplinary theme, IHAP encourages proposals involving interdisciplinary collaboration with historians and historically-minded scholars from all disciplines. The field is wide open but proposals that offer a clear and focused theoretical or empirical question will be favored.
