The Forum is concerned with the expansion of Europe and the world-wide response to the expansion, from its beginnings in the 14th century to the middle of the 19th century. It seeks participation by scholars in all areas of the field and encourages submissions from individuals with an interdisciplinary focus. Both individual and group proposals are welcomed; proposals for round-table discussions will also be considered. Past panels have addressed questions related to transnational commerce, missionary activity, varieties of resistance to European expansion, the role of law and the military in the governance of empires, race, gender, and the emergence of colonial identity. In recognition of this year's meeting site, the organizers would welcome papers related to the theme "Cities, Entrepots, and Outposts," however all other topics are also welcomed.
