We invite you to participate in the AHEA Conference, a celebration of the study of all things Hungarian, happening this April in Cleveland.  It is not too late to submit a paper idea (you don't need to be a professor), and all are welcome at the event itself.  Conference program and travel info will come closer to the date.

50th Annual Conference

April 16-18, 2026

Cleveland State University, Cleveland, Ohio, USA

 

The American Hungarian Educators Association (AHEA) will hold its 50th Annual Conference in person at Cleveland State University, in Cleveland, Ohio, USA. We welcome participation by academics, independent scholars, and graduate students interested in Hungarian culture, history, literature, linguistics, sociology, anthropology, political science, education, folklore, fine arts, music, and other related disciplines.

This year’s conference theme is: 

250 Years of Hungarian Contributions to the United States of America

 

Presentations should report the results of original research. Proposals can address a broad range of topics inspired by the bisesquicentennial celebration of the United States of America, relevant to Hungarian culture, including contributions made by Hungarians that span the 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence in the United States.  Topics pertaining to research relevant to Hungarians, as well as life in the Hungarian diaspora and the influence of Americans on Hungary, will also be considered. We welcome presentations on methodology and those that provide directions for future research.

 

Abstract submission deadline: November 15, 2025

Presenters should expect to hear back by December 20, 2025, at the latest. Applications for research presentation awards will open in January.

 Abstracts (250-word limit) should be submitted through this link. 

 

Submission guidelines:

-   The official languages of the conference are English and Hungarian. Abstracts and presentations in either language are welcome.

-   One “individual presentation” per author will be considered. Roundtables, workshops, and book presentations are exceptions in that scholars participating in those may also submit an “individual presentation”.

-   All authors must be AHEA members. Membership information is available on the AHEA website.

 

We invite abstracts in the following categories:
- Individual presentations describe original research by the author.  Altogether, the total time allotment is thirty minutes (15~20 minutes for the presentation and 10~15 for questions and discussion)    

- Panel discussions are for interactive discussion of a topic among a panel of experts. Typically, a panel of two or three speakers makes introductory remarks. The audience is then invited to make comments and ask questions of the panel. Panel discussions are scheduled for 60 minutes and run concurrently with other sessions.

- Workshops provide training on a specific skill, technique, or process and may involve one or more instructors. Workshops are intended to emphasize learning through participation, discussion, and “hands-on” activities. Workshop organizers must specify an upper limit on the number of attendees. Workshops are scheduled for 60 minutes. The learning objectives of the session should be included in the submitted abstract.

- Roundtable discussions are intended for informal discussions of pressing current topics important to scholars in the field, and to provide a venue to both share with and learn from each other. Each submission should have at least three participants knowledgeable in the discipline.

- Book presentations: Recently published books are invited for presentation either by the author or by an interested reader. These offer a 10-minute synopsis of a book published within the last year that may be of interest to AHEA members.
