Several scheduled sessions at this year’s annual meeting of the American Historical Association were moved to this week’s AHA22 Online conference. Each year the Conference on Faith and History sponsors a session at the AHA and due to COVID-19 related concerns we moved the session to the online conference. Our session will be held on February 23 at 5:00pmET via ZOOM.
This year we are sponsoring a conversation on Villanova University historian Eugene McCarraher’s book The Enchantments of Mammon: How Capitalism Became the Religion of Modernity. We will hear from historians David Chappell (University of Oklahoma), Janine Giordano Drake (Indiana University), Alison Collis Greene (Emory University), Nicole Kirk (Meadville-Lombard Seminary), and Eric Miller (Geneva College). McCarraher will respond to the respondents and I will chair the session.
The session is available to those who have registered for the AHA Conference. You can learn more about how to register here.
I found several other interesting online sessions that The Way of Improvement Leads Home readers might find interesting. If you see enough sessions here it may be worth the online registration fee. (All these sessions are free to historians who registered for the January 2022 AHA meeting in New Orleans).
