The History Graduate Student Association of Loyola University Chicago invites colleagues in history and related academic fields to submit proposals for individual papers to present at the second annual Loyola University Chicago History Graduate Student Conference on April 29, 2006 at the LUC Lakeshore campus in Chicago. The organizing committee is seeking proposals related to the conference theme from masters and doctoral graduate students in any field of historical study. The goal of this conference is to provide an opportunity for students to gain experience presenting papers and receiving feedback from their peers on their work. Sessions will include Cultural History, Social History, History of Race and Ethnicity, Gender and Sexuality, Public History, and other topics, TBA. In addition to the panels, the conference will feature a roundtable discussion with junior historians about successfully transitioning from graduate student life to employment in the field.
Proposals should include the name, contact information, and institutional affiliation(s) of the presenter and a one-page abstract of the paper (with a title). Include with your submission a brief biographical statement indicating your academic status along with a return address and a current e-mail address. Please note that submissions will be accepted as time and space permit.
The deadline for submissions is February 15, 2006.
