2024 Annual Meeting

The Annual Meeting of the Pennsylvania Historical Association took place from 10-12 October 2024 in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. Our theme, “Identity and Politics in the Mid-Atlantic,” spoke to the individual and group identities that have long played an important role in the region’s political culture. The Program Committee curated three days of paper, panel, roundtable, and plenary sessions dealing with the broad topics, including queer and disability history, ethnic, race, class, and gender history, religious and political identities. Our opening plenary on Thursday evening featured a talk on “Narrating Immigration in Pennsylvania History” by Dr. Katherine Benton-Cohen of Georgetown University. We appreciate all who were able to attend!
