The theme of this year's conference, to be held 25 March 2011 on the striking hilltop campus of Syracuse University, is "Articulations of Power." The keynote address will be delivered by Suzanne Mariko Miller, assistant professor of history at George Washington University.

The conference is hosted by the Future Professoriate Program of the Syracuse University Department of History, which exists to help graduate students develop professionally by honing skills related to teaching, research, and professional identity. Graduate history students throughout the Central New York region and beyond are encouraged to apply, proposing either individual or panel presentations. All historical subfields, subjects, periods, and regions are welcome. Participants are encouraged to construe the conference theme broadly.

Paper presentations will be 20 minutes long in three-person panels. Priority will be given to panels representing more than one university. For individual paper proposals, please submit a C.V. and a 300-word abstract. For panel proposals, please also submit a 200-word panel abstract. The proposal deadline is 22 November 2010. Email proposals to Robert Clines at rclines@syr.edu.

Participants will be responsible for their own travel and meal expenses, but some refreshments will be provided. For more information, please contact Adam Parsons at asparson@maxwell.syr.edu or Jonathan Wilson at jwwilson@maxwell.syr.edu.
