2008 Annual Meeting

The Agricultural History Society Annual 2008 Annual Meeting will take place on the campus of University of Nevada in Reno, Nevada from Thursday, 19 June, through Saturday, 21 June. The theme of this year’s conference, "Fertile Connections: Agriculture, Environment, and Society in a Global Perspective," is expected to attract a wide range of scholars, and we look forward to welcoming new colleagues as well as familiar faces at this meeting.

The program for the 2008 meeting is available here in PDF.

In the next few months, more information about the conference will be posted on this website as it becomes available. Until then, here is some preliminary information about the meeting, and you can view the Call for Papers.
