Welcome to Ghent
WHA Ghent Conference: President’s Welcome
Dear World History Colleagues,
Welcome to the 25th annual conference of the World History Association! Our
meetings this year will be held in conjunction with Ghent University. We will meet
at Het Pand, an historic Dominican monastery located in the heart of the university.
This year our conference themes will be Global Conflict and Transformation of
the Global Countryside. Of course, there will also be other papers presented on
a variety of other topics in world history. The lineup of presentations is truly
impressive this year.
This year’s conference features two keynote speakers. First, we will hear from Sven
Beckert of Harvard University, with his talk entitled “Cotton and The Global Origins
of Capitalism.” Beckert recently published Empire of Cotton: A Global History (Knopf Doubleday, 2014). Peter
Romijn from the University of Amsterdam and the NIOD Institute for War, Holocaust, and Genocide Studies
will deliver our other keynote address. Professor Romijn’s title is “Wars of Our World: Between Local and Global
Warfare.” He has published multiple works on the politics of occupation and regime change in the Netherlands
and Europe in the Second World War, and on the persecution of Jews in the Netherlands.
Our conference this year will take place in the medieval city of Ghent. By the fourteenth century, the city
boasted a population of 65,000 people, making it among the biggest and most populated urban areas of northern
Europe. Ghent thrived as a port city, and its importance was amplified with the establishment of Ghent
University in 1817. As you will discover, it is a truly beautiful city, and Belgium itself is well known for two of
my favorite “sins,” chocolate and beer or ale.
As you know, the World History Association has been undergoing growth and change over the past few years.
I appreciate the recent stewardship of President Craig Benjamin, with whom I was privileged to serve for two
years. As he reported last year, our transition to Northeastern University has been smooth, and the WHA
is now settled in our new home. The team of WHA officers, which includes myself, Vice President Merry
Wiesner-Hanks, Secretary Maryanne Rhett and Treasurer Michele Louro, is in constant communication to
serve our membership well. Craig Benjamin continues as an ex-officio officer for this year but we try not to
bother him too much! Executive Director Kerry Vieira hit the ground running in her first year and now has hit
her stride. I do not need to sing the praises of Kerry to those of you who have encountered her; she has truly
been a gem for WHA! Northeastern University provides us with graduate student assistance, and this past year
we were fortunate to work with Olivier Schouteden. Financially the organization has stabilized as well. I invite
you to intend our annual meeting on July 5 at 8 am to learn more about the state of the WHA and our hopes for
the future. Please do not hesitate to contact us with your ideas!
In closing, I would like to thank our colleagues whose support has made this conference possible. We have
enjoyed a warm partnership with colleagues from the University of Ghent, Torsten Feys and Eric Vanhaute.
Kerry Vieira has once again put in many hours in her role as Executive Director of our organization. She was
assisted by Olivier Schouteden. Maryanne Rhett, our Secretary and Chair of the Program Committee has once
again done a superb job scheduling the panels and other activities that you can read about in this program. I also
appreciate the support of numerous Executive Council members, who have been so supportive of the recent
improvements in the WHA. Next year we will meet for the 26th annual conference in Boston, home to WHA
headquarters and Northeastern University. We expect that this will be one of our busiest and most vibrant
conferences ever, and hope to see you there!

Welcome to Ghent
A Message from Our Executive Director
Welcome to the 25th Annual World History Association Conference
in Ghent, Belgium. Your submissions have created a wide variety of
sessions, roundtables and meet the author opportunities. The diversity
of offerings should satisfy even the most seasoned and informed
attendees. Maryanne Rhett, our Conference Program Chair, has spent
hours and energy to create something memorable for all of us. It’s my
pleasure to work with such an esteemed colleague.
My baptism for all things Ghent commenced on a winter’s day during
2014 in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Professor Eric Vanhaute of Ghent
University was finishing his time at Harvard and it was a golden
opportunity to prepare our association for the 25th annual conference.
I listened to his ideas over a warm plate of Belgian waffles. A huge
thanks to Eric Vanhaute for his thoughtfulness and vision and also to
the person who would become my primary contact in this undertaking,
Professor Torsten Feys. He has been instrumental in guiding us through
the specifics and moving the process along in Ghent while I sat at my
desk in Boston. Ghent University has been a wonderful co-sponsor.
In addition to the sessions, one cannot deny the thrill of being in such a historic, lively city. Another stamp in the
passport seems to be the standard for our crowd, but hopefully the spirit of wanderlust has not become stale with
jetlag and fast food. This city offers a variety of modern and historic sites, and while it seems daunting to even
approach this topic with historians, my research has uncovered information that should not be kept secret.
If you are seeking historic buildings, one notable choice is St. Bavo’s Cathedral. Adoration of the Mystic Lamb,
the famous Jan van Eyck altarpiece, has sat in St. Bavo’s unharmed for the past 50 years and is currently under
restoration. Its past has been not been a peaceful one. The painting had been stolen several times, most notably by
Napoleon and then by the Nazis, who stored it in a salt mine. The painting made an appearance in the 2014 movie
Monuments Men as well. The 1934 heist of a portion of the painting was more permanent – this panel has never been
returned and a replica has taken its place on the altar.
To see Ghent, the best mode is via boat, as the city boasts countless waterways and canals and two rivers that have
played an important role through the centuries, the Lys and Scheldt. A fun way to enjoy the modern day art scene
in the city is walking through graffiti alley, officially Werregaren Straat. This pedestrian alleyway of street art is
repainted several times a year so the art is ever-changing.
Belgium has a well-known reputation for some exciting foods, including waffles, fries and chocolate and its most well
respected craft beverage, beer. Within the city, you can find 250 types of beer, many of which are brewed here locally.
A large variety can be found at Dulle Griet. While “the best” is often a subjective decision, research has concluded the
following. For waffles, the restaurant “Max” is suggested because of the large variety and expert waffle making since
1839. For fries, the restaurant “De Frietketel” gives patrons large portions and a variety of great dipping sauces. To
find quality chocolate, “Hilde Devolder Chocolatier” comes recommended with a plentiful selection of mini chocolates.
While it has been enjoyable researching Ghent for the benefit of registrants, my main objective has always been the
conference itself. Through programming and other initiatives for this 25th Annual WHA Conference, our vision is to
provide intellectual awareness and professional connections that are meaningful in the long-term. The excitement for
Ghent has been palpable. Yet once this conference concludes, I anticipate welcoming you to the WHA Headquarters
in Boston, in 2017, the lovely city that I proudly call home.
Most sincerely,
Kerry Vieira
Administrative Coordinator

Keynote Address
“Cotton and the Global Origins
of Capitalism”
Sven Beckert, Harvard University
Professor Beckert researches and teaches
the history of the nineteenth century,
with a particular emphasis on the history
of capitalism, including its economic, social,
political and transnational dimensions.
He just published Empire of Cotton: A
Global History, the first global history of
the nineteenth century’s most important
commodity. The book won the Bancroft Award, The Philip
Taft Award and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. The New
York Times names Empire of Cotton as one of the ten best
books of 2015. His other publications have focused on the
nineteenth-century bourgeoisie, on labor, on democracy, on
global history and on the connections between slavery and
capitalism. Currently he is at work on a history of capitalism.
Beckert teaches courses on the political economy of modern
capitalism, the history of American capitalism, Gilded Age
America, labor history, global capitalism and the history of
European capitalism. Together with a group of students he has
also worked on the historical connections between Harvard
and slavery and published Harvard and Slavery: Seeking a
Forgotten History.
Beckert is co-chair of the Program on the Study of Capitalism
at Harvard University, and co-chair of the Weatherhead
Initiative on Global History (WIGH). Beyond Harvard, he
co-chairs an international study group on global history, is
co-editor of a series of books at Princeton University Press
on “America in the World,” and has co-organized a series
of conferences on the history of capitalism. He is a 2011
Guggenheim Fellow.

This presentation will address the many shapes of
warfare since the early 20th century: wars between
states, within states, and on a global scale. Modern
warfare involves an all-out participation of the masses
on all possible levels: as fighters, on the home front,
and as victims. Which instrument enables fighting
communities to go to war, sustain the warfare, and
suffer its consequences until a bitter end? Professor
Romijn will focus on legitimacy as a driving force. As a
matter of fact, rulers experience a continuous urgency
to provide good reasons for the massive mobilization
of bodies and minds. They appeal to notions of justice,
a promise of success, and an appeal to shared values.
From this perspective I will address contemporary war
as a ‘mover’ of peoples.

Contemporary globalization requires today’s historians to

Nomads as Agents of Cultural Change
The Mongols and Their Eurasian Predecessors
Edited by Reuven Amitai and Michal Biran
Nomads as Agents of Cultural Change illuminates and complicates
nomadic roles as active promoters of cultural exchange within
a vast and varied region. It makes available important original
scholarship on the new turn in the study of the Mongol empire and

Perspectives on the Global Past welcomes a variety of analytical
approaches and the methods and insights of different disciplines.
