[haw-info] HAW Notes: AHA panels; links to recent articles of interest

To members and friends of Historians Against the War,


In a "HAW Notes" mailing last week we mentioned two panels at the January 6-9 AHA convention that seemed of particular interest.  In the aftermath, both of these panels are described extensively (with video clips) by David A. Walsh, assistant editor of the History News Network (HNN), in his reportage from the convention.  The two panels are listed below, with links to the reports that contain the descriptions:

 

Saturday, 11:30 – 1:30, "The Public Uses of History and the Global War on Terror," with Juan Cole, Carolyn Eisenberg, Greg Grandin, Peter Mansoor, and Priya Satia.  In HNN's Day 3 report:

Sunday, 11:00 – 1:00, "'The Global War on Terror': Historical Perspectives and Future Prospects," with Andrew Bacevich, Staughton Lynd, Herbert Bix, and Carl Mirra.  In HNN's Day 4 report:
