The graduate students of the Department of History at the University of Colorado at Boulder are pleased to announce the thirteenth annual Rocky Mountain Interdisciplinary History Conference.

First-time presenters are especially encouraged to participate.
Please submit a one-page abstract of the paper and a current c.v. The abstract should clearly express an original argument rooted in extensive primary source research. Please email your abstract and c.v. to: rmihc@colorado.edu, or send by mail to: RMIHC, Dept. of History, UCB 234, University of Colorado at Boulder, Boulder, CO 80309-0234.
