The University of Illinois at Chicago History Graduate Society announces
its fourth annual Windy City Graduate Student History Conference:
Contested Spaces, Contested Identities: Exploring Power and Resistance
in the Modern World. This event will take place at UIC on November 5,
2011.

 

Contests for power are often identified as engines of historical change,
resulting in broad social, political, and ideological transformations.
As historians examine conflicts over the control of space and the
boundaries of social identities, contests for power not only illuminate
our understanding of historical change but also help us present a more
nuanced and sophisticated view of the past. We are interested in
exploring power and resistance between and within a wide range of
topics, such as geographical borders and frontiers, masculinity and
femininity, race and ethnicity, technology and science, and local,
global, and national boundaries. By bringing scholars together to
discuss the ways in which these contests over space and identity take
place, we hope to open up new methods of exploration, to produce further
discussion on the roles of power and resistance in the modern world, and
to understand how historians construct narratives of the past. 

 

Submissions for panels or individual papers are welcomed from graduate
students at all levels and advanced undergraduates. We welcome scholars
whose work focuses on any region or field. Please send a 250 word
abstract and a short (no more than 2 pages) CV to
windy.city.con at gmail.com by September 1, 2011. For panel proposals,
please send a 200 word panel abstract along with paper abstracts and
presenters' CVs.
