October 20-22, 2006

The history graduate students at the University of Maine and the University of New Brunswick invite graduate students in history and related disciplines to submit paper proposals for the upcoming 8th Annual International History Graduate Student Conference, to be held October 20-22, 2006, at the University of Maine, in Orono, Maine. Since 1999, this graduate student conference has provided an open forum for the presentation of graduate student research on a variety of subjects. We are pleased to announce that Dr. Linda Kealey of the History Department at the University of New Brunswick will deliver the keynote address.

This conference brings together graduate students from across the United States, Canada, and beyond in an informal and pleasant atmosphere to exchange ideas and present current research. This is an excellent opportunity for first time and seasoned presenters alike to share their research in this collegial and supportive atmosphere.

Papers on any historical topic will be considered. There are no geographic or chronological restrictions. This is an excellent opportunity to present research at a graduate student conference, a unique collaborative effort between the University of Maine and the University of New Brunswick. Please submit a 300-word proposal with a one-page vitae no later than May 15, 2006.
