  World History Connected (ISSN 1931-8642), https://journals.gmu.edu/whc, has been an affiliate of the World History Association since 2003. While the submission of individual articles on any topic germane to world history are welcome at any time, the journal also invites papers suitable for a Forum, a set of 4 to 8 curated articles showcasing innovative research and the scholarship of teaching in the interdisciplinary field of world history.
  
  This Call for Papers invites contributions to the Fall 2024 issue’s Forum devoted to “Piracy In World History” Guest Edited by Ian Abbey, Prairie View A&M University. Contributions may include archival research, fieldwork, and the scholarship of teaching (while WHC does not publish lesson plans, it does feature articles that are rooted in pedagogical analysis and data gathered from classroom activities, which may contain lesson plans and examples of student activities and exercises).
  
  Submission of articles for this Forum should be received no later than July 1, 2024 through the World History Connected homepage at https://journals.gmu.edu/index.php/whc/index and click Make a Submission for consideration for publication in Fall 2024 (see also below).
  
  About the Forum
   
  
  This issue’s Forum, entitled “Piracy in World History” will be guest edited by Ian Abbey. The history of piracy is not just pertinent to maritime or naval affairs. On the contrary, it encapsulates many topics regarding economics, sovereignty, state-building, and social history. It is a subject that serves as an excellent springboard for interdisciplinary studies, especially since pirates were not always viewed as outlaws or deviants depending on circumstances. The causes and effects of piracy throughout different regions and time periods, as well as the varying tolerance states had for pirates and irregular naval warfare in general, can be viewed through a lens that incorporates many global trends.
  
   
  
  This forum will serve as an excellent opportunity for historians, economists, sociologists, political scientists, anthropologists, and more to contribute their work. What made authorities label pirates as villains of all nations? What is that fine line between national hero, defiant swashbuckler, and irredeemable marauder? Is there a line at all? Pirates have tended to operate and move between the respectable and criminal worlds, and this forum will showcase that from multiple perspectives to help us better understand world history.

  The journal strives to serve all those devoted to research and teaching world history. Published reviews have judged it successful in achieving its dual goal in supporting and disseminating globally both archival research and the scholarship of teaching. Ideally, any work in world history can be made relevant in terms of both increasing our understanding of micro- and macro-historical processes, and also contributing to classroom instruction and curriculum development. It is a double-blind peer reviewed publication guided by world historians and educators devoted to growing a community of world historians by assisting prospective authors to reach the highest standards for accessible writing, referencing, and formatting, whether the article is, or is not, accepted for publication. Its editorial staff includes past presidents—and the current president-- of the World History Association as well as distinguished Advanced Placement and Master Teachers, who are all unpaid volunteers.
  
  In addition to individual articles, book reviews, a list of books available for review, and “special” features such as interviews with world historians, the journal seeks Guest Editors who wish to create one of its curated topical sections (“Forums”) that help WHC keep as close as possible to the needs of its audience and developments in the field. The journal is published three times a year (Winter, Spring and Fall) and offers additional content through its social media editors, Angela Lee (amrsleehistory@gmail.com), Suzanne Litrel (suzannemlitrel@gmail.com), and Joe Snyder (jsnyderwvu@gmail.com).
