On behalf of the CISH Board, we would like to inform all members that we have been following the evolving situation in the Middle East with particular attention and concern since October 7, 2023. In light of the ongoing escalation, we have agreed that there are no conditions to prepare for the 2026 Congress in Jerusalem. The Board, in agreement with the Historical Society of Israel, decided to postpone the CISH Congress until 2028 and to hold a Congress dedicated to the centenary of CISH in 2026. At the General Assembly in Tokyo on October 27, 2024, they will discuss how to hold the Centennial Congress.
The General Assembly will take place after the conference Crossings and Connections: East Asia and the World, c1800-1945 at Teikyo University, Tokyo, October 26, 2024. The deadline for submission of paper proposals is confirmed as April 30, 2024.April 4, 2024
