The Seminar, which will convene on Friday, March 24th, 2006, seeks graduate students at any stage of completion of the doctorate and those with PhDs still seeking full-time employment. Unlike the traditional conference format, the Graduate Seminar will include in-depth critique from the moderator, as well as the audience, who will have electronic access to the papers prior to the event.

The best papers will receive special consideration for publication in California History, the quarterly journal of the California Historical Society, and Southern California Quarterly, the journal of the Historical Society of Southern California.

Please send or email, by December 10, 2005, an Abstract (300 words) and CV to:
