When: October 15-18, 2025
Where: Albuquerque, New Mexico
The University of Arizona Press is attending the 65th annual Western History Association conference in Albuquerque! This year’s theme is “Roots/Routes: Relationality in Times of Disenchantment.”
On the theme, the Program Committee writes, “New Mexico is affectionately nicknamed the ‘Land of Enchantment.’ Since time immemorial, it has been home to Pueblo, Diné, and Ndee peoples. Settlers have been coming to its striking landscape–and remaining–since the sixteenth century. Many jokingly refer to it as the ‘Land of Entrapment;’ once you go there, you don’t want to leave. Such characterizations belie deep legacies of layered colonialisms that challenge relationships between kin, communities, and the land and reinscribe alternate logics of being and belonging.”
We look forward to seeing you at the conference! Be sure to stop by our booth to browse our wonderful collection of new and recent history titles, and talk to our Editor-in-Chief Kristen Buckles! If you would like to set up a meeting with Kristen, email her at kbuckles@uapress.arizona.edu.
