AAWH Congress

The Congress of the Asian Association of World Historians (AAWH)  is held every three years for the individuals and institutions who identify themselves as ‘global’, ‘world’, ‘transregional’, ‘comparative’, ‘international’, and ‘big’ historians, and all others with interest in large-scale study of the past to meet face-to-face, to exchange their research and to develop networks and collaborative projects.
