OAH Annual Meeting March 17-20, 2011 in Houston, Texas

The Organization of American Historians (OAH) will be holding its 2011 annual meeting in Houston, Texas. From its web site:

This year’s program highlights the rich thematic diversity that has come to characterize contemporary American history writing and teaching. Sessions will include plenaries on the origins of the Civil War and the anniversary of September 11, 2001, a discussion of the Texas textbook controversy, the Gulf oil spill, and a remembrance of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire. Workshops will focus on American history at the community college level and oral history. The meeting’s host city will provide opportunities to visit the Menil Collection (including the famous Rothko Chapel), Space Center Houston, historic Galveston, and the San Jacinto Monument, one of the finest examples of art deco architecture in the United States. The OAH Book Exhibit features the latest U.S. history offerings and gives attendees a chance to exchange ideas with representatives from major American history monograph and textbook publishers.
