From Lisbon to the World

The Association for Spanish and Portuguese Historical Studies annual conference will be held in Lisbon, Portugal, July 8-12 2024, organized by Ana Valdez and Teresa Nunes of the Centre for History of the University of Lisbon.  The conference will take place at the School of Arts and Humanities of the University of Lisbon (FLUL).

FINAL CONFERENCE PROGRAM (updated July 5).

TOURS:  The conference organizers have prepared a series of free guided tours of important cultural sites in Lisbon. These are limited to 20 participants each (only registered conference-goers, please!).  Use this form to see the tour options and sign up.  Participants should arrive at each site 15 minutes before the tour.

REGISTRATION:  See the chart below for registration fees.  These include the welcome reception, coffee breaks, lunches on Tues/Weds/Thurs, and the Gala Dinner on Wednesday July 10.  (University of Lisboa faculty, postdocs, and researchers with Ph.D.s may register until June 15 at a discount; after that they should register in the regular faculty category.)

All conference rooms come equipped with computers and projectors. We can only honor accommodation requests that were submitted with the proposal.

Conference participants must be members of the ASPHS.  (Please note that membership is separate from registration for the annual conference; registration information will be posted here when it is available.) Graduate students presenting a paper for the first time at an ASPHS conference will receive a free membership for their first year, but must still submit the necessary paperwork. See the Membership page for more information.

General enquires about the conference and program should be sent to ASPHS24lisboa@letras.ulisboa.pt.

A limited number of ASPHS travel grants will be awarded to graduate students presenting papers.

The Luso-American Development Foundation (FLAD) has just opened applications for short-term research fellowships at Biblioteca Nacional de Portugal, Torre do Tombo and archives and libraries across the country, with the aim of supporting the promotion of Portuguese language and culture in the USA. Conference attendees who are attached to educational or research institutions in the U.S. might find these helpful to apply for.  Click here for more information:  Applications Open: Short Term Research Grants 2024 – FLAD
