CONFERENCE NEWS: Get those 2025 diaries cracked open or loaded up! It's time to start preparing for the Pacific History Association Conference. National University of Samoa are excited to announce that the 26th Pacific History Association (PHA) Conference will take place from December 2-4, 2025, at the National University of Samoa, Apia, Samoa. The call for papers will be released in Jan 2025. The conference theme, "Le Solosolo'ū: Resilience in the Face of Adversity," explores the historical resilience of Pacific communities in navigating challenges. We invite historians and scholars from diverse disciplines to contribute to discussions on historical narratives of resilience, cultural practices demonstrating adaptability, and innovative solutions to adversity in Pacific contexts. Through these multifaceted perspectives, we aim to deepen our understanding of how Pacific people have historically confronted and overcome various challenges, showcasing their enduring strength and adaptability. This theme provides a rich framework for examining the ways in which Pacific communities have demonstrated resilience throughout history, offering insights into their cultural practices, problem-solving approaches, and adaptive strategies in the face of adversity. #Samoa #PacificHistory #History

If you know someone interested in enrolling in History , you may want to recommend the University of Hawaii (see below).

It's great to see the potential for students to work their way towards a JPH article.

Did you know we offer support through the Publication Incentive Grant?
