The Dalhousie Graduate History Society invites graduate students from all branches of the Humanities and Social Sciences to submit proposals for our 13th annual ‘History Across the Disciplines’ Conference, to take place at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada on March 19th to 21st, 2010. The theme of this year's conference is ‘Guts, Glamour and Gossip.’ Especially relevant to this theme are issues concerning authority and government, rebellion and resistance, as well as rhetoric and popular culture as they continually define the notions of heroics, social banditry, martyrdom, and celebrity. There are no temporal or geographical limitations to this theme, and all proposals will be considered.

Interested applicants should submit a 250-word abstract and and curricula vitae by January 15th. Presentations are between 10 to 15 minutes each, so papers should be no more than 8 pages in length. In order to be considered for the John Flint Prize for best paper/presentation, including a $250 honorarium, finished papers must be received by February 5th.

Please direct comments and queries to the conference organizers at dalconference2010@gmail.com.

We look forward to your submissions!
