A&M-Commerce to Host Statewide World History Association Conference Virtually

Texas A&M University-Commerce will host the annual conference of the World History Association of Texas (WHAT) for the second time, but virtually on this occasion.

The event was previously held on the A&M-Commerce campus in 2019. This year’s event is being held virtually on February 20 due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

While the virtual nature limits in-person interaction between conferencegoers, the association stated in a press release that it also opens up opportunities for participants from around the world to exchange ideas and discuss research. The theme of the conference is “A World of Things: Consumption, Consumerism, and Commodities.”
