NEW PERSPECTIVES IN HISTORY:
GRADUATE SCHOLARSHIP IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY

The History Graduate Student Association of Loyola University Chicago
invites
colleagues in history and related academic fields to submit proposals
for
individual papers to present at the second annual Loyola University
Chicago
History Graduate Student Conference on April 29, 2006 at the LUC
Lakeshore
campus in Chicago. The organizing committee is seeking proposals related
to the
conference theme from masters and doctoral graduate students in any
field of
historical study. The goal of this conference is to provide an
opportunity for
students to gain experience presenting papers and receiving feedback
from their
peers on their work.  Sessions will include Cultural History, Social
History,
History of Race and Ethnicity, Gender and Sexuality, Public History, and
other
topics, TBA.  In addition to the panels, the conference will feature a
roundtable discussion with junior historians about successfully
transitioning
from graduate student life to employment in the field.

Proposals should include the name, contact information, and
institutional
affiliation(s) of the presenter and a one-page abstract of the paper
(with a
title). Include with your submission a brief biographical statement
indicating
your academic status along with a return address and a current e-mail
address.
Please note that submissions will be accepted as time and space permit.

The deadline for submissions is February 15, 2006.  Proposals should be
emailed
as an attachment to History Graduate Student Association Vice President
Elizabeth Hoffman at ehoffm1 at luc.edu.  Proposals can also be mailed to:
