The deadline for abstract submissions to the conference is January 31, 2024.

What + Why: The theme for the 2024 conference is “Revolution, Resistance, and Resilience in History.” This conference will delve into diverse themes within world history and public history, specifically examining how individuals within historical spaces have endeavored to champion causes, resist oppressive measures, and initiate or sustain these efforts through both small and large-scale movements. Submissions may engage with a variety of related themes including: Empire, Trade and Transport, Global Systems, Migration and Mobility, Class and Conflict, The Urban Space, Gender, Borders and Boundaries, Race, The Environment, Hegemony and Society, Theory and Practice, and many more. We invite graduate students in history graduate programs and other associated disciplines to present work on any of these topics and more. We welcome and encourage papers that deal with these issues in interdisciplinary ways, as well as those engaging with the digital humanities. We also encourage the submission of pre-organized panel proposals. Faculty are invited to volunteer as chair/commentators in their research areas.

Additional Details: Format of Presentations — Accepted presentations are typically divided into three- or four-person panels. Each panelist should expect to present their papers for approximately fifteen to twenty minutes. To be considered, the following documents should be submitted via this Google Form by January 31, 2024. Submission Types: Individual Papers, Panels, Alternative, or more creative formats are encouraged. Please contact the email below if you are interested.

Exciting News: Our esteemed keynote speaker, Dr. Erez Manela, is a distinguished scholar in twentieth-century international history, renowned for their groundbreaking research on the intersection of race, global order, and postwar constructs. With a rich body of work, including the influential The Wilsonian Moment and recent contributions to The Cambridge History of America and the World, Manela has unraveled the profound impact of racial ideologies on global affairs.
