2022 BHC Mid-Year Conference program (#BHC2022MidYear)

Dear subscribers;

The 2022 BHC Mid-Year Conference program is now available. Please note that this is not the final program, and that it is subject to change in the next week. Attendees are welcome to join any of the workshops, which will be hosted on the same Zoom link (provided with registration [register here: https://thebhc.org/midyear-meeting-registration-order-page]). From the general Zoom meeting link, attendees can join the breakout sessions of their choice. We will provide support for anyone unfamiliar with Zoom.

The midyear conference aims to (a) foster new intellectual conversations and relationships between members, (b) provide a meaningful opportunity for community engagement for members who may not be able to attend the BHC’s in-person conference due to financial or distance constraints, and (c) invite in non-members (especially emerging scholars) who may be interested in our community and what it has to offer. The hands-on nature of the methods workshops is designed to foster conversations that transcend the historical boundaries of place and period and hence create new scholarly relationships and collaborations. We, therefore, ask BHC members to invite colleagues and students who might be interested in the workshops but may not (yet) be members of the BHC.
