The UNC-Charlotte Graduate History Association invites all interested parties to submit proposals to present papers at our eighteenth annual Graduate History Forum on Friday, March 17, and Saturday, March 18, 2006.
Saturday’s luncheon will feature an address by guest speaker Dr. John Hope Franklin, Professor Emeritus of History at Duke University. Dr. Franklin is the author of many books, but he is best known for, From Slavery to Freedom. He is also well known for chairing President Clinton’s national race advisory board. His most recent publication is, Mirror to America, a long-awaited autobiography of Dr. Franklin’s struggles to challenge racism in the United States.
Friday evening’s registration and reception will feature a presentation by Dr. Melissa Feinberg, an Assistant Professor of History at UNC-Charlotte. Dr. Feinberg earned her Ph.D. at the University of Chicago in 2000. Her talk will be entitled, “‘The Feminists Have Carried Away the Nation!’ Democracy and Citizenship in Interwar Czechoslovakia.”
The GHA invites all graduate and undergraduate students to submit papers based on original research for presentations at the Forum. All topics are welcome, including historiographical essays. Prizes will be awarded for the best papers. A one-page abstract and curriculum vitae should be submitted by January 13, 2006. The deadline for submission of completed papers is February 17, 2006.
