The Middle Ground: Transdisciplinary Approaches to the Past and Present
History & Classics Graduate Students Association – CALL FOR PAPERS
Department of History & Classics
University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta
March 3-5, 2011
The History & Classics Graduate Students Association at the University of Alberta invites graduate students from any discipline to submit paper proposals in either French or English that consider the interdisciplinary nature of the study of the past and present. The intention of this conference is to further interdisciplinary relationships, promote research that can benefit from new techniques and methods, and to question the limits of individual disciplines. This conference will act as a “middle ground” for students from all disciplines to interact with, learn from, and communicate with students and faculty members with similar interests. First-time presenters and upper-level undergraduate students are encouraged to submit proposals and attend the conference.
The Department of History and Classis is home to one of the only graduate student peer-reviewed journals in Canada, Past Imperfect. We encourage the submission of high-caliber, original-research essays and book reviews in a broad array of topics. For more information, please visit: http://ejournals.library.ualberta.ca/index.php/pi/index
Paper proposals no longer than 250 words should be submitted as an email attachment along with the author’s CV to: conference.hcgsa@gmail.com
The deadline for submissions is Monday, January 31, 2011.
Please join us in welcoming our keynote speaker, Dr. Gregory Blue from the University of Victoria. Dr. Blue has taught world and comparative history since 1990 at UVic, where he also regularly teaches general historiography. He received his Ph.D. from Cambridge University in 1989 in the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences. His major research interests include Western intellectual history, Asian social-political history and modern African history. His primary research relates to Western understandings of Chinese society, history and politics, and how these understandings affected and were affected by changing Sino-Western relations in the early-modern and modern periods. After taking his first degrees in philosophy in the United States and Belgium, he was a research associate for thirteen years with the Science and Civilisation in China project in Cambridge, England. His most recent book, co-authored with Timothy Brook and Jérôme Bourgon, is Death By a Thousand Cuts (Cambridge, MA: Harvard, 2008), which looks at capital punishment and judicial torture in imperial China.
